Sonny got caught in the moonlight   A wanted man with a haunted heart   Sonny found out the hard way      Playing for keeps, loser weeps   He said he'd come back when the lion sleeps      Struck by lightning, the fire is dying   And she called out your name   Sudden thunder, the sky is crying   Can't tell the tears from the rain      Sonny got caught in the moonlight   Paint graffiti on the subway wall   Sonny got lost in the blue night   They stood like statues, legs spread wide   Catch him in the crossfire and take him by surprise      Struck by lightning, the fire is dying   And she called out your name   Sudden thunder, the sky is crying   Can't tell the tears from the rain   Can't tell the tears from the rain      Most my life I've been running   Paint a portrait of a fool   With my heart in my hands   They've come to take me down      Sonny got caught in the moonlight   By the power that can turn the tide   I heard three shots around midnight      Driven by the passion, running from the heat   No questions asked ... he's just a kid from the street      Struck by lightning, the fire is dying   And she called out your name   Sudden thunder, the sky is crying   Can't tell the tears from the rain   Can't tell the tears from the rain
