In The Eyes Of The Night

In The Eyes Of The Night - Dirk Hamilton

I saw a dog in a trash can chewin' on a cat

I saw what looked like a madman he just stared and sat

I heard the concrete crackle, I heard the buzz above

When I passed that madman he raised a rubber glove

And a voice from the shadows whispered husky thick

And out the blackness I heard a cockin' gun click

I heard a cockin' gun click

I was out on the street and the moon was mad

Still in my head was the sound of jazz

Around my head was the smell of juice

And my mind was tight, but my soul was loose

Then it hit me like the jolt from a lightnin' bolt
And it shook me like some hands wrapped around my throat
And it took me and blew me in a cloud of smoke
Where I sat spellbound In The Eyes Of The Night

When you're lost in the jungle you just swing on out of there
But when you're trapped in the city breathin' terror air
Ya order a double then ya shove it down
Put on your leather jacket, you're invisible now
Seein' so many wounded, seein' so many sick
Outside of my windows I heard a cockin' gun click

Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost
At the breakfast table paper smudged up
From the syrup on the fingers in the french toast

Under the moon, under the stars, under the jets,
Under the wires, under the roof, under my skin
Into my heart, and out of my soul
Upon this rock I build my church
In The Eyes Of The Night
