i walk the streets so endlessly wandering where they cannot see fight my way through the struggle and strife but i ve become a prisoner of the night a prisoner of the night an alley cat so strong and proud sometimes you have to run and hide before you pounce i look straight into the glow of his eyes and he knows i m a prisoner of the night a prisoner of the night with a swish of his tail he is gone and save for my shadow i m alone but the feeling of danger is there like a cat i crouch and stare i ll go down fighting all the way the hair on my neck stands like his would and there is cold steel at my side please do not force my hand cause i will end your life the stars look on indifferently then i awaken from my dreams it is the afternoon it s all slipped away from me people walk the city bustles with life but soon enough i ll be a prisoner of the night a prisoner of the night a prisoner of the night a prisoner of the night
