| Lyrics |
(for Jenny)I'm a working alien in a land of heat and stonea casulaty of an economic warthat took me away from home.
It's the politics of money and power
It's the hope that we can build a future in worldgetting smaller everywhere
Bridge:I can hear a siren in the workyardanother shift and I'll be closer to you
I'm a working dog in Babylon and onlyyour love can get me through
Chorus:
Foreign nights -- took you away from me
Foreign nights -- are not where I belong
Foreign nights -- filled with dust and dreams
Foreign nights -- trapped me in Babylon
AS long as I keep moving
I know I will be all rightcause if I stop to think I'll drown and sinkin the sea of foreign nights
I've got to keep my hands busygot to keep pushing throughgot to learn to deal with this time away from you
Bridge:I can hear a siren in the workyardanother shift and I'll be closer to you
I'm a working dog in Babylon and onlyyour love can get me through
Chorus....
Quiet moments in the dark are hardest to facethe sun goes down but not the pain
I want to be with you all the time
I want to be with you, to be with you all my life
I'm going to have to get through... foreign nights.
