Nightlife
Got my head up off the carpet
Got my body through the door
Then I fell into the driver's seat
Picked the gun up off the floor
Rolling down the side road
With the window open wide
The sun is sinking down upon
The houses' bursting pride
The downtown shadows whisper
All the pleasures will be sweet
Then darkness gripped the steering wheel
As I turned into that street
The sidewalk ghost is dancing
He says he is my friend
Come inside the bottle's long
Entertainment has no end
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
When the waiter gathered glasses
I ordered whiskey rye
Then the girl she sat beside me
Her scent it made me high
Her angel eyes looked through me
And I saw the pain that kills
But leaned across and said to her
Let me drive you to the hills
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
Down there is a sea of lights
The city's still at play
Then car door slammed I looked around
The girl just walked away
The engine mumbled weary
All down the old dirt track
As the headlights raked across the field
The angel eyes shone back
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
Got my body through the door
Then I fell into the driver's seat
Picked the gun up off the floor
Rolling down the side road
With the window open wide
The sun is sinking down upon
The houses' bursting pride
The downtown shadows whisper
All the pleasures will be sweet
Then darkness gripped the steering wheel
As I turned into that street
The sidewalk ghost is dancing
He says he is my friend
Come inside the bottle's long
Entertainment has no end
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
When the waiter gathered glasses
I ordered whiskey rye
Then the girl she sat beside me
Her scent it made me high
Her angel eyes looked through me
And I saw the pain that kills
But leaned across and said to her
Let me drive you to the hills
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
Down there is a sea of lights
The city's still at play
Then car door slammed I looked around
The girl just walked away
The engine mumbled weary
All down the old dirt track
As the headlights raked across the field
The angel eyes shone back
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
Nightlife
