Brooklyn, New York 3:17 a.m. It's cold And I miss you Your apartment is on my right Old movie, turn it on Black and white Through your window, I see a light, hey-yeah Changes from a red to green to blue, yeah But the rain obscures the view I said, "A-hey hey hey" I tie my shadow to my feet And step outside I've got to make it home Before the morning light I said, "A-hey hey hey" There's no way around it I've got to walk past your apartment There's no way around it I'm close to the house But far from home Huh! Give it to me, now Check the time It's almost three, uh Mmm, your haunted castle is approaching me It's approaching me, baby No detour can set me free, oh yeah Uh, in the light of the day I can push you away But the nighttime arrives And suddenly I'm petrified, baby, come on A night or two ago I thought I'd made it safe No, no But I closed the door And felt your aura just the same Why can't you be on your way? No way around it I've got to walk past your apartment Where were you, babe? There's no way around it I'm close to my house But I'm far from home Talk to me, babe (Woo!) (Hey!) (Uh!) Woo!
