Lyrics

Try to lie
Try to lie still
And just give in 
To uncontrollable will

Don't say a word  
Or look me in the eyes
Don't try to comfort me
I'm unconsolable still
Cruisin' all night
I'm still cruisin' all night
I'm still cruisin' all night
Still cruisin' all night

I saw you in DCU
You're with somebody new
I know how you are
It's always a quarter to two

Still cruisin' all night
Still cruisin' all night
Still cruisin' all night
Still cruisin' all night
