Nightlife

I was a young girl
Knew next to nothing
Living in the suburbs
And my heart was lusting
For a new way
And a new sound
Crawled over my hang-ups
In the underground
I had a break through
I had to shake you
You could've come too
To see my point of view
We got a breakthrough
It was my debut
It didn't faze you
But it meant something to me
Night life, beneath the surface
Night life, some say it's worthless
High life, instead of being
Inside, it's a song you're singing
Night life, if there's no spirit
Night life, then don't go near it
Night life, to have it over
Inside, you can find your life in the night life
If you are feeling
Like you don't have nothing
Under pressure in the cooker
With your head in the oven
There's a new way
So come on down
Life ain't never really over
When you're underground
You need a breakthrough
You need to make do
You need to come to
A brand new point of view
You need to break through
And then get wise too
Our love is taboo
And you'll be something to see
Night life, beneath the surface
Night life, some say it's worthless
High life, instead of being
Inside, it's a song you're singing
Night life, it's a heart you're racing
Night life, it's a billion daisies
Night life, it's the cash your making
Inside, you can find your life in the night life
It's beneath the surface
Some say it's worthless
It's a low gut feeling
It's the rush you're feeling
You can beg your spirit
If you let that leave it
It's the back you're breaking
Are you ready for the night life
Night life, night life
Night life, love life, inside
Find your way to hide in the night life
(Night life, night life, night life)
You can find a life in the night life
(Night life, love life, inside)
Find your way to hide in the night life
You can find a life in the night life
