[Verse 1]
That night will live forever, their first time to lie together
They were finally where desire dared them to go
Both belonging to another, but longing to be lovers
Promising each other that the night will only know
[Verse 2]
Parked on some old backstreet, they laid down in the backseat
And fell into the fire down below
But they would pay for their deceiving, for a deadly web was weaving
Why they picked that spot that evening, Lord, the night will only know
[Verse 3]
Well within the innuendos, just outside the steamy windows
The night was shattered by a woman's scream
Motionless and frightened, the grip of fate had tightened
And with trembling hands they wiped away the steam
[Verse 4]
They saw a woman pleading, stumbling, begging, and retreating
Till she became the victim of her foe
And they watched her fall in silence, to save their own alliance
But the reason for the violence, just the night will only know
[Verse 5]
And every paper ran the story, she was stripped of all her glory
And they told exactly how the woman died
Abandoned and forsaken, too many pills were taken
And they ruled the woman's death a suicide
[Verse 6]
Bound by their behavior, they could have been her savior
Now guilt becomes an endless debt they owe
But another crime was committed, and it's never been admitted
Have the guilty been acquitted, Lord, the night will only know
