    Story Behind the Song

    Lyrics
    It was late
    In the midsummer heat
    On the simmering sidewalk
    Of a New York street
    All the midnight movers
    And the would-be stars
    Drinking mad bad moonlight
    In the voodoo bars

    And though they try to slow them down
    The hands keep moving 'round
    They're just spoiling for a fight
    To hold on to the night

    Couldn't wait
    For that sultry beat
    Of a rock and roll sideshow
    And a poker cheat
    All the streetlight walkers
    In the nightclub wars
    And the lunatic talkers
    With the doorway whores

    And though they try to slow them down
    The hands keep moving round
    They're just spoiling for a fight
    To hold on to the night

    Jailbait dressed up to the teeth
    And the pickpocket paupers
    Sliding beneath
    All the kerbside crawlers
    Of a big city night
    And the maniac marauders
    All high as a kite

    And though we try to slow it down
    The world keeps spinning 'round
    We're just spoiling for a fight
    To hold on to the night
