King Of The Night Lyrics - Southside Johnny And The Asbury Jukes

King Of The Night 

(J. Lyon/M. Noble) 

Battered old hands, black leather jacket 

Sad, mournful cat, sweet moonlit racket 

And I slid through the alleys 

Like some old town stalking 

As I go out walking, King of the Night 

King of the Night 

Night's curtain falls, soft velvet texture 

A saxophone calls some ballad by Dexter 

Yea, I'm dresses in my best and the locals are gawking 

I hear them talking, King of the Night 

When I'm out in my kingdom 

Cares if the world take flight 

King of the Night 

Someone is waiting 

A falling star's creating 

Anticipation in the air 

Hidden in the craters of the moon 

She's there

Damp morning streets 

Small town awakens 

Warm rumbled sheets 

And the smell of bacon 

I peek through kitchen windows 

And see couples talking 

As I finish walking, King of the Night 

Watching over his kingdom 

As it fades in the morning light 

King of the Night 

King of the Night
