"Don't let me slip back under,

My motors running warm.
I'm rolling with the thunder,
I'm riding out this storm.

Burn down the night,
Burn down the night,
If you can't make it right,
Burn down the night.

So patiently you guide me,
Whispering in the dark.
Reach way down deep inside me,
Take out the broken part.

Burn down the night,
Burn down the night,
If you can't make it right,
Burn down the night.

Another wall comes down in flames,
With every match you strike.
You've got everything it takes,
To burn down the night.

Lead me into temptation                                                                                                                         Out by the railroad tracks                                                                                                                         Show me a new sensation                                                                                                                   Don't ever send me back.

Burn down the night,

Burn down the night,
If you can't make it right,

Burn down the night.

Burn down the night,
You gotta Burn down the night,You gotta Burn down the night,

You gotta Burn down the night,

Burn down the night."
