Night Life Lyrics © 2008, Chris Palestrant. All rights reserved.n Women named Desire are somewhere in sight See them in the doorway - see them making love The children nocturnal, forgotten by heaven above. City of twilight is on fire with ice. The switchblade in the shadows will not know paradise. See him in the basement all empty inside Wondering how he got there, if he ever was alive. Chorus The city is vicious when the city is dark Don't go in the alleys, don't go in the park And never stop walking, you won't hear them talking, For that's when they're stalking you. Like the light off the knife, fear the nightlife. Skin like satin, a tear for the rain A prison called Manhattan, eternal life of pain. Desire looks over her shoulder - lips look like lust. She tries to be bolder, but who the hell can you trust? He watches her quietly, there's a chill in the air. She pulls up her collar as a voice cries, "Beware". The City is still. Soon will come the dawn. His knife flashes red. She cries out. Not for long. Chorus The city is vicious when the city is dark Don't go in the alleys, don't go in the park And never stop walking, you won't hear them talking, For that's when they're stalking you. Like the light off the knife, fear the nightlife. Chorus 2x Chorus 2x The city is vicious when the city is dark Don't go in the alleys, don't go in the park And never stop walking, you won't hear them talking, For that's when they're stalking you. Like the light off the knife, fear the nightlife. Like the light off the knife, fear the nightlife. Like the light off the knife, fear the nightlife. |
