I´ve got to get you off my mind I´ve got the world to see I want to keep you out of sight Don´t try to follow me
I´ve got to get you off my mind I´ve got the world to see Hide from the light, stay out of sight Live parallel with me
Is it the pull of the moon, beckoning? I faced the weather in my second skin I floated high on the tide, the current took me In the eye of a storm, panic shook me
I´ve got to get you off my mind I´ve got the world to see I was afraid, I ran away Don´t try to follow me The way he tells it - No, that wasn´t everything You hear a clumsy move, I see threatening Don´t want to see him
I don´t want to see him Do I have to justify the way I´m feeling? No! No! No!
We walk the long way Underneath a bright moon Reclaim the night, don´t lose another And cross the street Hear someone close behind you Turn day to night, stay under cover
His name´s a warning: danger! exclamation! Reclaim the night, don´t lose another This time the world demands an explanation Reclaim the night, don´t lose another
Time after time, I see him in the crowd He cast a shadow, changed the weather
And he´s a footnote dropped in my biography But I know he´s your friend whatever
