| I wrote a letter to you | 
| I almost sent it today | 
| Sometimes it really gets through | 
| Hold on, yeah | 
| For a break | 
| 'Cause it’s midnight on the run | 
| Yeah, yeah, midnight on the run | 
| The comet stares you right in the eye | 
| Sunrise is so far away | 
| My ride on the train has begun | 
| Stow away in a boxcar of guns | 
| 'Cause it’s midnight on the run | 
| Yeah it’s midnight on the run | 
| Yeah, yeah, midnight on the run | 
| Yeah it’s midnight on the run | 
| Love is a hell-hound on the loose | 
| Better put 'em on, your dancing shoes | 
| Yeah he’s coming down after you | 
| Better put 'em on, your dancing shoes | 
| Out in the street the whole night through | 
| So he put 'em on, his dancing shoes | 
| Yeah he’s coming down after you | 
| Better put 'em on, your dancing shoes | 
| Love is a hell-hound on the loose | 
| Better put 'em on, your dancing shoes | 
| Yeah he’s coming down after you | 
| Better put 'em on, your dancing shoes | 
| Out in the street the whole night through | 
| Better put 'em on, your dancing shoes | 
| Yeah he’s coming down after you | 
| Better put 'em on, your dancing shoes | 
| Love is a hell-hound on the loose | 
| Better put 'em on, your dancing shoes | 
| Yeah he’s coming down after you | 
| Better put 'em on, your dancing shoes | 
| Out in the street the whole night through | 
| So he put 'em on, his dancing shoes | 
| Yeah he’s coming down after you | 
| Better put 'em on, your dancing shoes |
