(Streetlights blur as I ignite)
(Steady breath, cold steel night)
Silhouettes and glowing signs
Footsteps cutting painted lines
Neon streaks across my eyes
Racing past the city’s lies
Every shadow pulls me forward
Every breath a coded chord
Heart in sync with distant thunder
Midnight runner, never cornered
I’m the midnight runner
Through electric heat
No one ever catches
What they’ll never beat
Fuelled by silent hunger
Faster every street
I’m the midnight runner
Hear the rhythm, feel the beat
Screens reflect a mirrored soul
Every block, a neon goal
Echoes fade but I remain
Burning tracks into the rain
I’m a ghost on glowing rails
Light and motion never fail
City breathin’ at my back
But I’m always on the track
I’m the midnight runner
Through electric heat
No one ever catches
What they’ll never beat
Fuelled by silent hunger
Faster every street
I’m the midnight runner
Hear the rhythm, feel the beat
(Ahh oh oh ohh)
(Flickers of light, the chase begins again)
(Hold your breath — I’m gone with the wind)
I’m the midnight runner
Through electric heat
No one ever catches
What they’ll never beat
Fuelled by silent hunger
Faster every street
I’m the midnight runner
Hear the rhythm, feel the beat
Midnight runner
Midnight runner
Fade into the street…
