Lyrics
Tonite
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It all starts tonight
Tonite's the night I guess
So let's go take some drugs
And let's go have some sex
The first time it's alright
The future starts tonight
And you cannot make everything alright
But you could stop being wrong
Tonight
Tonight
And someone's getting born
And someone's getting killed
Somebody falls in love
Somebody falls from a window sill
But you - you just sit tight:
Hiding out from life
Oh and you cannot set the world to rights
But you could stop being wrong
Oh tonight
Yeah tonight
Well, the past devours the future
The world is changing the shape
And someone's getting a piercing done for goodness sake!
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Yeah tonight
Oh and all the culture vultures
And all the snot-nosed kids
And all the so-called artists, wannabes and never-dids
You claim you're not involved
but you're in up to your neck
The night belongs to lovers
so show some respect
Oh and you cannot set the world to rights
But you could stop being wrong
Oh tonight
Oh tonight
Oh tonight
Oh tonight
Oh tonight
