Peter Maffay Victimes of the night Lyrics

Standing at the bar
Wavelength out of town
love was written on her face
but she looked me up and down
smiled at me with a demon´s smile
I have nowhere to hide
And I told her that I´m hanging round
Waiting for a ride

I´ve been here once before
Somewhere in my dream
Saw this dancers moving ´round
like shadows on the screen
Just in time I realized
I´m drowining vergely
I felt victim to some strange desire
Taking whole of me

I felt evil
Lost in nightmares
Into strange dreams
And then the lady said to me
We´re victims of the night
Victims of desire
And we´re hanging on to yesterday to long
We are victims of the night
Children of the fire
And we´re lost but still move on

Then the room just swayed
Like a drunken dream
The dollar´s people dancing like
Puppets on the string
Yes all of these magic jokes
Are somewhere in the air
We all lost ourselves in ecstasy
Heading for nowhere

Yes I´ve seen that face before
Coming straight at me
Must have been in Africa
In some old movie scene
They´re beating up
Beating up and down
Beating up their drums all night
And the voice from somewhere says to me:
I´ll take you for a ride

And we fly to nowhere
Lady of hesitation
Lighting up my dream
Hoping that the night will fly
Waiting for the last goodbye
Oh, it´s just a move - easy
Hope we all wake up

I felt evil
Lost in nightmares
Into strange dreams
And then the lady said to me
We´re victims of the night
Victims of desire
And we´re hanging on to yesterday to long
We are victims of the night
Children of the fire
And we´re lost but still move on

When the wheel stops turning
We all just sit and pray
Danced enough and
Dreamed enough
Let´s have another day
Yeah

Danger when it holds on core
Waiting for the final floor
Actors in the picture shore
Waiting for the last good bye
Light up for another try
Sailors on a sunken boat
