My footsteps echo in the alley way
I see my shadows secret
It won't belong
My heart, it beats to a rhythm
I'm come closing in on a destination
I walk through the elevator door
As I'm rising I begin to feel you,
I'm not alone
A cold wind bites all around me
But I'm warm on the inside
I don't need no drug tonight
This nights gonna change me forever
This room says anything goes
Oh the city is alive tonight
I breathe in the smells that surround me
I'm choking but I want more
You're closing in
Oh mistress come to me
Come to me, come, come to me
A cold wind bites all around me
But I'm warm on the inside
I don't need no drug tonight
This nights gonna change me forever
This room says anything goes
