It’s not the light’s fault, but just the same I’d rather it was gone.
We make great friends in the daytime,
we can make great love before dawn.
If we get the chance, and if my friends have left us,
leaving you and I alone
To do what we do best,
then I know that you know.
Sinning is easier without light,
cause when it’s dark no one can see
You and I beneath a street light, and I’ve got you on top of me.
I called you up Tuesday and you said,
“Keep it to yourself, I’ll see you on Friday
and by Saturday you won’t see nobody else.”
We’ll go down on South Street and walk along
with the freaks and the queens.
Soon as the night falls we’ll head home to replay some dreams.
But why can’t it be easy to say good-bye
You know I’ll be back again
We wish for a moment to stop time
So the night won’t ever end
I never shoulda let you go
Sinning is easier without light,
cause when it’s dark no one can see
You and I beneath a street light, and I’ve got you on top of me
And I know I’m never gonna let you go.
