Early morning, as she wakes from her sleep
9 to 5 is the day that she'll keep
Ties her hair up and her blouse buttoned tight
Gets her work done as she waits for the night...
All the people, tell me what would they say
If they knew her, how she hides it away
Locked inside, there's the start of a flame
And the feelings that she never will tame

Ooh as she's walking around like a mystery
Ooh there's a woman that nobody sees livin' inside

[Chorus:]
Thrills in the night, far from the light, passion taking over
Prices she pays, all through the days, no on really knows her

In the evening when she takes to the street
She goes hunting with a body in heat
And desires she's kept hidden inside make her tingle
And she knows why she lies

Ooh as she's walking around like a mystery
Ooh there's a woman that nobody sees living inside

Thrills in the night, far from the light, passion taking over
Prices she pays, all through the days, no on really knows her

Thrills in the night, far from the light, passion taking over
Prices she pays, all through the days, no on really knows her

See the stranger that she's pushing away
As she dresses for the start of a day
And desires she's kept hidden inside make her tingle
Yeah she knows why she lies

Thrills in the night, far from the light, passion taking over
Prices she pays, all through the days, no on really knows her

    This song is about a woman who leads two lives: by day, she's a hard-working contributor to society, and by night she's a vixen who "goes hunting with a body in heat." When those nights end, she pays the price for all of the fun she's had, and she'll continue to pay the price until the end of her days.

    One of the best songs from KISS ever. Very underrated.

    It's about a lady of the night who leads a double life. She keeps her secret well during the day but the excitement and thrills of the night continue to bring her back each night.
