Night

I swear I was the king of the night
Fluorescent like a neon sign
Now these hours swallow me whole
(In the belly of a bad dream)
And the city laughs with her lungs
"Boy, you know you've gotta grow up"
Does she know I'm terrified?
(Then she leaves with a quick wink)

I know how nights go
Get bruised up, then the wounds glow
Then they move on, but for some
They slows down

Oh, the night it
Hurts but feels so wild it
Holds you like a child then
Leaves you like a friend
Oh, the night it
Fights you like a lover
Loves you like a mother
Fake that you're so brave
And watch the night turn to day

(Nights they go like this)

Now we dance through the burning streets
Orange angels with chipped teeth
But sometimes I still feel the punch
(Oh, nights they go like this)
Yeah. I still feel that pain in my rib cage
When my baby left me in the rain
Read his mouth, he said:
"It comes with the hours"

Oh, the night it
Hurts but feels so wild it
Holds you like a child then
Leaves you like a friend
Oh, the night it
Fights you like a lover
Loves you like a mother
Fake that you're so brave
And watch the night turn to day

How's it feel in the morning light?
Think you're free? Wait till tonight
We're all safe at the disco
Until the moon, she has to go
And we walk home like gods
With yesterday in our hearts
Say we'll never see night again
But just wait till it gets dark

The night it
Hurts but feels so wild it
Holds you like a child then
Leaves you like a friend
Oh, the night it
Fights you like a lover
Loves you like a mother
Fake that you're so brave
And watch the night turn to day

Oh, nights they go like this
Oh, nights they go like
