It's the midnight hour and I wish you were here.

Somebody following me,

I just can't sleep alone.

 

I figure it's the way I am,

or a thing that happened to me

somewhere in my childhood.

 

I'm all that I could ever be in your arms.

It's like I can't imagine life without you.

 

But all my women cry

and all my heroes die,

 

or we could try a little

moonlight madness.

We could do the strangest things.

Try a little moonlight madness.

Let someone in your dreams.

 

Or we could try a little

moonlight madness.

Living on the same old lies.

We should not try to find the meaning.

Let history decide.

 

Whether it's right or wrong to give you,

what I may give you?

How do we learn to do the things?

We never do.

 

Let me try a little

moonlight madness

on you.

 

I cry with a smile and I laugh with a tear.

I struggle but the body won't move.

And the quicksand pulls me down.

 

I wanna be the man that you think I am.

I follow in the steps of the one

who knows the darkness well.

 

And you can get me by your side

by talking to me with your eyes.

Not breaking promises.

 

I'm howling at the moon.

I'm howling,

howling at the moon.

 

Or we could try a little

moonlight madness.

We could do the strangest things.

Try a little something different.

The mystery remains.

 

Whether it's right or wrong to love each other.

Yearning in the brain for something new.

Let me try a little

moonlight madness.

Try a little

moonlight madness.

Try a little

moonlight madness

on you.
