if I’d stay up late this night
damn sure it would get rough
I’d meet the stranger’s eye
which seems to never get enough
weird confident conversations
the mark a bullit-hole
the fresh wound open wide
one pays for night controll

it’s big money

at night the strangers stay up late
thinkin’ they’re so tough
well prepared in case of fight
and they never get enough
so confident with their guns
in their blood red hands
killing just for pleasure
or the thrill of new demands

it’s big money
big money time
it’s big money
big money crime

is there a place in their soul
is there room for a change
in where the heart takes controll
or is it big money rule

SOLO

repeat chorus 

hey, would I be untrue
certainly not to you
shades in the dark
could trouble my mind
but don’t expect me to be
a fool for your loving
I’ll never say no to love
in itself, my girl

and how we change at night
the beast is playing crazy
is the acting right
or is the acting frenzy
this dangerous game
a frigid frame
or a turbulent wave of passion

let me hear your heartbeat
beat a steady rhythm
let me feel your touch
nails tearing me apart
this tender embrace
strangling or wrestling
I never say no to love
in itself, my dear

repeat chorus

SOLO

oh and how we change at night
(oh how we change at night)
is the acting now alright
(is the acting now alright
this dangerous game
a frigid frame
or a turbulent wave of passion

in my life
there’s been heartache and trouble
hardly enough chances
to come through it alive
felt so sad
walking this charade
going down on creation
watching the fall of all nations

over rock and over water
walking through the hills
life is such a thrill
over rock and over water
and over water

in my life
there’s been joy and laughter
given enough chances
to take it all away
I feel so glad
walking this parade
giving birth to creations
singing songs to all nations

repeat chorus

and when you’re down
you’re so uninspired
take a heart
and renew the kick inside

over rock and over water
and over water

hope we find it
in our hearts divine
we’ll remember
when our dreams unite

SOLO

repeat second chorus
