Runnin' on empty
The midnight oil keeps me awake
And pill I have to swallow
Don't keep me even
The sounds of silence
Broken glass and crimson stains
And the words I have to sing
Have lost their meanin'
Runnin' from the daylight
Headin' towards the spotlight
To be free
Layin' in the moonlight
To find some peace
And no, there ain't been nothing
You can do
To keep my mind at ease
Are you runnin' from the daylight
Just like me
Blood in the water
One more shot can make me stay
And the chill of icy rivers
Flowin' through my veins
The midnight hour
Only your voice can keep me sane
But you don't care
Darlin' you don't care
So I'll drift away
Runnin' from the daylight
Headin' towards the spotlight
To be free
Layin' in the moonlight
To find some peace
And no, there ain't been nothing
You can do
To keep my mind at ease
Are you runnin' from the daylight
Just like me, me, me
Runnin' from the daylight
Headin' towards the spotlight
To be free
Layin' in the moonlight
To find some peace
And no, there ain't been nothing
You can do
To keep my mind at ease
Are you runnin' from the daylight
Just like me, me, me
