Here I am driving around at 3 am
looking for people who I don't know
well they said party at 1:32
and I said yeah I want to go
because the night is still young
and the band is just cold
and I'm tired of spending time all alone
well driving around and I can't find nothing
maybe she said 1:36 or something
I don't want to give up and go home
at 1:32 they turned out the light
maybe I didn't get the address right
but if I go home now I'll never know
because the night is still young
and the band is just cold
and I'm tired of hanging around all alone
Well the party's getting mellow at 5 am
that's when the dreamy things happen
a green and purple fog begins to glow
when you're tired tired and you can't talk straight
that's the way I want to communicate
because then a certain feeling starts to show
and the night is still young
and the band is still cold
and I'm tired of hanging around all alone.
