Elton John - I Swear I Heard The Night Talking

[00:13.16] In the nicotine glare of a cold naked light [00:19.10] I drag my body from the covers and down forty flights [00:25.43] I run out the front door into the center of the street [00:31.44] I scream out your name as the steam just swells around my feet [00:37.66] I hear you after midnight from the inner city [00:43.10] As every little Cinderella turns to drop dead pretty [00:50.19] We were built out of the darkness into this West Side Story [00:56.51] We came together in the shadows [00:58.80] But the moon just steals our glory [01:02.46] Well, this is my battleground, baby [01:05.84] This is my plaything [01:08.90] The only thing I've ever known [01:11.10] Outside of a wedding ring [01:14.14] And I swear I heard the night talking [01:20.01] Cursing me for being a little more than hopeless [01:27.07] Telling me we're running lonely, loose and broken [01:32.30] Stronger now on passion but haven't we really spoken [01:39.08] And all we ever do is listen to the night talking [01:46.88] [01:58.59] On the burden of insanity, we can't find the cause [02:04.84] On a flatbed truck, well, the home girl she paints her claws [02:10.91] There's a coward who gets his courage undercover of the dark [02:16.31] And it's a strange breed of devil [02:18.19] Freeze at night to go walking in the park [02:23.12] Well, this is my battleground, baby [02:26.52] This is my plaything [02:29.30] The only thing I've ever known [02:32.63] Outside of a wedding ring [02:34.85] And I swear I heard the night talking [02:40.61] Cursing me for being a little more than hopeless [02:47.72] Telling me we're running lonely, loose and broken [02:52.93] Stronger now on passion but haven't we really spoken [02:59.85] And all we ever do is listen to the night talking [03:07.24] [03:19.22] This is my battleground, baby [03:22.36] This is my plaything [03:25.41] The only thing I've ever known [03:27.10] Outside of a wedding ring [03:30.75] And I swear I heard the night talking [03:36.59] Cursing me for being a little more than hopelesss [03:43.50] Telling me we're running lonely, loose and broken [03:49.06] Stronger now on passion but haven't we really spoken [03:55.64] And all we ever do, oh yeah, is listen to the night talking [04:05.44] Oh yeah (oh yeah) [04:12.65] And I swear I heard the night talking [04:17.55] Oh yeah (oh yeah) [04:23.59] I swear, I swear, I swear I heard the night talking [04:27.94]
