Come on, night.
Lead me out of this bright place.
I need a little breathing space.
Daylight is a monster.
How it sanctifies all the animal pursuits,
The pushers in their business suits,
The currency of conquerers.
But I got hope
And you got hope
If only at night, pretty misanthrope.
If you love someone, you’re a rich somebody.
Hell yeah, you’re a rich somebody.
Now while the city sleeps,
Kiss me in the street, my love.
I’m learning to be fearless.
Our time, we’ve got to take it serious.
‘Cause I don’t want to waste my life
Bleeding for the phantom year
When money up and saves us,
And everything is painless.
‘Cause I got hope
And you got hope
If only at night, pretty misanthrope.
I got hope
And you got hope
If only at night, pretty misanthrope.
If you love someone, you’re a rich somebody.
Hell yeah, you’re a rich somebody.
Write the daytime off, I don’t mind.
Give me love and the thrill of low light.
If you love someone, you’re a rich somebody.
Hell yeah, you’re a rich somebody.
Write the daytime off, I don’t mind.
Give me love and the thrill of low light,
Thrill of low light,
Thrill of low light.
I was shook last week from sleep
In a park out by the bay,
Where yachts and sailboats play,
By a man who said
That you and I will die
In a low and lonely place,
Cold horror on our face,
And it got to me.
Still I got hope
And you got hope
If only at night, pretty misanthrope.
I got hope
And you got hope
If only at night, pretty misanthrope.
If you love someone, you’re a rich somebody.
Hell yeah, you’re a rich somebody.
Write the daytime off, I don’t mind.
Give me love and the thrill of low light.
If you love someone, you’re a rich somebody.
Hell yeah, you’re a rich someone.
If you love someone, you’re a rich somebody.
Hell yeah, you’re a rich someone.
If you love someone, you’re a rich somebody.
Hell yeah, you’re a rich somebody.
Write the daytime off, I don’t mind.
Give me love and the thrill of low light.
