text: 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 Ive 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 were running lonely, loose and broken
  Stronger now on passion but havent we really spoken
  And all we ever do, is listen to the night talking
  On the burden of insanity, we cant find the cause
  On a flatbed truck, well, the home girl, she paints her claws
  Theres a coward who gets his courage under cover of the dark
  And its 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 Ive 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 were running lonely, loose and broken
  Stronger now on passion but havent 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 Ive 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 were running lonely, loose and broken
  Stronger now on passion but havent 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
