Starin' at the moon again
Yes you been out on the loose
You still feel like a haunted man
This kinda life just ain't no use.

It's gonna be a long night
Waitin' for the first light

It's gonna be a long night

Waitin' for the first light
It's gonna be a long night.
It's gonna be a long night
Waitin' for the first light

It's gonna be a long n
