Lyrics
Night calling
V1
Night calling
When all girls are getting done
Hiding men that are on the run
Night calling
In the allies in the street
Talking to strangers they meet
Night calling
V2
When all hustlers are getting out
Selling their business to the crowd
Night calling
Behind the stations in the docks
The turning wheel that never stops
Night calling
Chorus
Alone in this crowd
Wandering around
This girl that I don't know
Numbs the pain in my poor soul
The words she says
In some foreign tongue
I don't understand
But I don't care
V3
Night calling
When you`re in deep sleep
All comes out that infects and creeps
Night calling
When the night falls
All comes out that bites and crawls
Night calling
Chorus
Bridge
Houndin` the city all night long
Oh baby all love is gone
All is seedy and is greedy
Lord save our souls and stand beside the needy
Hey !
Instrumental ( 4 bars)
V4
Night calling
Junkies wondering in town
Zombie eyes staring down
Night calling
Night owls fly the street
Craving for the needle and the speed
Night calling
Chorus
End:
Night calling
