Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Released as a uk b-side in 1990<br><br>In the nicotine glare of a cold naked light<br>I drag my body from the covers and down forty flights<br>I run out the front door into the center of the street<br>I scream out your name as the steam just swells around my feet<br><br>I hear you after midnight from the inner city<br>As every cinderella turns to drop dead pretty<br>We were built out of the darkness into this west side story<br>We came together in the shadows but the moon just steals our glory<br><br>Well this is my battleground baby<br>This is my plaything<br>The only thing I've ever known<br>Outside of a wedding ring<br><br>And I swear I heard the night talking<br>Cursing me for being a little more than hopeless<br>Telling me we're running lonely, loose and broken<br>Stronger now on passion but haven't we really spoken<br>And all we ever do is listen to the night talking<br><br>On the burden of insanity we can't find the cause<br>On a flatbed truck well the home girl she paints her claws<br>There's a coward who gets his courage undercover of the dark<br>And it's a strange breed of devil freeze at night to go walking in the park
