[Verse 1- Buck Dharma]
Hard-working man
On the train, underpaid
"This ain't the livin’ I see in my dreams"
(?) The ex-night pilot walks up to here
And listened to the man who whispered in his ear

[Pre-Chorus 1- Buck Dharma & ensemble]
("Why don't you step outside?")
He couldn't believe what he said
("Leave the world behind")
Well, I could use the bread
("Just a little joy-ride")
It’ll only take one night
("Across the other side")
I guess once is all right

[Chorus- Buck Dharma & ensemble]
Night Flyer
Night Flyer
Night Flyer
On a midnight flight

[Verse 2- Buck Dharma]
(?) Up in the hills was a piece of cake
But trusting the man was a big mistake
He tried to play me for the fool
Now the guns have spoken
(?) And his body's cool
[Pre-Chorus 2- Buck Dharma & ensemble]
("Another step outside")
I couldn't believe he was dead
("Leave the world behind")
I didn't use my head
("Just a little joy-ride")
It'll only take one night
("Across the other side)
I guess once is alright

[Chorus- Buck Dharma & ensemble]
Night Flyer
Night Flyer
Night Flyer
On a midnight flight

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus Cont.-Buck Dharma & ensemble]
Night Flyer
Night Flyer
Night Flyer-

[Verse 3- Buck Dharma]
This time tomorrow
(?) I'll be savin' late
(?) Turning the kids already got an old plate
I know she'd never understand
’bout gettin’ away with five-hundred-grand
[Pre-Chorus 3- Buck Dharma & ensemble]
("And he stepped outside")
(?) Get rid of the car
("Leave that world behind")
And he opened the door
("If they let him go")
I turned the key
("Don't let him go")
(?) Ya’ not flashin' by me

[Outro-Buck Dharma & ensemble]
Night Flyer
("Step Outside")
("Leave the world behind")
("Step Outside")
("Leave the world behind")
("Step Outside")
("Leave the world behind")
("Step Outside")
("Leave the world behind")
("Step Outside")
("Leave the world behind")
