A Shout In The Dark (G. Kooymans/B. Hay) 1986 The Hole

It’s rainin’ on a summer night, I’m gonna take a ride on a dreamboat
Don’t know ‘bout it’s destination
Higher than the clouds and the angels, further than a million roads
Forever away from the death-patrol
‘Cause when I close my eyes I dream of freedom
And when I open ‘em, I see a multitude of good reasons to get the hell outa here

Tonight I’m breaking out, tonight I made a vow
That any minute now, I’m gonna climb the wall of freedom on my own
Tonight I’m full of doubt, tonight there’s no more doubt
That any second now, I’m gonna face a life of treason on my own, on my own

I hear a shout in the dark, a scream in the alley
It seems like the devil runs this whole city, this whole damn city
I hear a shout in the dark, a scream in the alley
It seems like the devil shows me no pity, no no pity, I’m going home

Tried it all day lord, time for me to kick off my working shoes, there’s nothin’ left to lose
Behind the tired buildings, places that are haunting me, lie lingering beyond the Berlin Wall
I hear it whisper, I can hear it call at night, the sky for my hungry eye
Hides a rainbow behind the concrete door

Tonight I’m breaking out, tonight I made a vow
That any minute now, I’m gonna climb the wall of freedom on my own
Tonight I’m full of doubt, tonight there’s no more doubt
That any second now, I’m gonna face a life of treason on my own, on my own

I hear a shout in the dark, a scream in the alley
It seems like the devil runs this whole city, this whole city
I hear a shout in the dark, a scream in the alley
It seems like the devil shows me no pity, no pity
I hear a shout in the dark, a scream in the alley
It seems like the devil shows me no pity, no pity

I’m going home, I’m going home, I’m going home, I’m going home, I’m going home
