I Swear I Heard The Night Talkin' Lyrics - Elton John

In the nicotine glare of a cold naked light 

I drag my body from the covers and down forty flights 

I run out the front door into the center of the street 

I scream out your name as the steam just swells around my feet 

I hear you after midnight from the inner city 

As every little Cinderella turns to drop dead pretty 

We were built out of the darkness into this West Side Story 

We came together in the shadows but the moon just steals our glory 

Well, this is my battleground, baby 

This is my plaything 

The only thing I've ever known 

Outside of a wedding ring 

And I swear I heard the night talking 

Cursing me for being a little more than hopeless 

Telling me we're running lonely, loose and broken 

Stronger now on passion but haven't we really spoken 

And all we ever do, is listen to the night talking

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

On the burden of insanity, we can't find the cause 

On a flatbed truck, well, the home girl, she paints her claws 

There's a coward who gets his courage under cover of the dark 

And it's a strange breed of the devil, freeze at night to go walking in the park 

This is my battleground, baby 

This is my plaything 

The only thing I've ever known 

Outside of a wedding ring 

And I swear I heard the night talking 

Cursing me for being a little more than hopeless 

Telling me we're running lonely, loose and broken 

Stronger now on passion but haven't we really spoken 

And all we ever do, is listen to the night talking 

This is my battleground, baby 

This is my plaything 

The only thing I've ever known 

Outside of a wedding ring 

And I swear I heard the night talking 

Cursing me for being a little more than hopeless 

Telling me we're running lonely, loose and broken 

Stronger now on passion but haven't we really spoken 

And all we ever do, oh yeah, is listen to the night talking 

Oh yeah, oh yeah 

And I swear I heard the night talking 

Oh yeah, oh yeah 

I swear, I swear, I swear I heard the night talking
