Lyrics The Pretenders

The Pretenders

Night in My Veins

I see him standing silhouetted in the lamplight

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 all right

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 all right

Even if it's just the night in my veins

Even if it's just the night in my veins, oh

I've got my head on the curb

And I can't produce a word

Oh yeah, it feels good, it's all right

Even if it's just the night in my veins

It feels good, it's all right

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 all right

Even if it's just the night in my veins

Just the night in my veins
