  • I see him standing silhouetted
    In the lamp-light
    I cross the street
    And I quicken my pace
    He cups his hands and he
    Lights a cigarette
    I find myself in the bones of his face

    It's just the night in my veins
    Oh
    Making me crawl in the dust again
    It's just the night
    Under my skin
    Slipping it in

    He's got his hands in my hair
    And his lips everywhere
    Oh yeah
    It feels good
    It's alright
    Even if it's just
    The night in my veins

    He's got me up against the back of a
    Pick-up truck
    Out of sight of the neon and glare
    We might as well be on a beach
    Under the moonlight
    Love's language reads the same
    Anywhere yeah

    It's just the night in my veins
    Oh
    Making me crawl in the dust again
    It's just the night
    Under my skin
    Slipping it in

    He's got his chest on my back
    Across a new Cadillac
    Oh yeah
    It feels good
    It's alright
    Even if it's just
    The night in my veins
    Even if it's just the night in my veins

    I've got my head on the
    Kerb and I can't produce
    A word
    Oh year
    It feels good
    It's alright
    Even if it's just
    The night in my veins

    It feels good
    It's alright
    Even if it's just
    The night in my veins

    Even if it's just
    The night in my veins
    It feels good
    It's alright Writer/s: BILLY STEINBERG, CHRISTINE HYNDE, THOMAS KELLY
