You've got some explaining
To get through
Like why you're coming home
At some ghastly hours
And what's your cover story?
And this time, please don't bore me
You had a date with sunrise
Why am I not surprised?
So why don't you go get dressed
Take trip a west
So maybe you can see the sunset
So why don't you go get dressed
Take trip west
So maybe you can see the sunset
And stare into each other's eyes
It's never too early if the Sun is up
So pass me the bottle and forget the cup
Define out of line
Don't just waste my time
And at night off the rails
If I boarded a train
Let's drink sangria and pretend we're from Spain
We've got everything to gain
Now, how about that fucking game?
We'll go to France, and drink the finest wine
If you pace yourself
You'll get a queen and a half
I snatched you right off the shelves
And we kept it all to ourselves
But if the city never sleeps
At night time
Then why should I?
Besides, we're in a pretty place
So let's go jump around space!
And if the city never sleeps
At night time
Then why should I?
Besides, you have a pretty face
So let's go jump around the bays!
Yeah, haven't seen me for days
'Cause I've been stuck in a maze
Of pubs, drugs, clubs
I've been stuck, in Amsterdam ways
And I've been smoking on so many J's
The landlord of the pub
He wants to give you a hug
'Cause we're the only ones around
Who've spent all 50 pounds
Looks like we're sleeping on London grounds
But if the city never sleeps
At night time
Then why should I?
Besides, we're in a pretty place
So let's go jump around the bays!
And if the city never sleeps
At night time
Then why should I?
Besides, you have a pretty face
So let's go jump around the bays!
And we'll drink it
Drink it, drink it down
Don't overthink it
We'll drink it, drink it down
Yes, we'll drink it
Drink it, drink it down
Don't overthink it
Just drink it down
But if the city never sleeps
At night time
Then why should I?
Besides we're in a pretty place
So let's go jump around the bays!
But if the city never sleeps
At night time
Then why should I?
Besides you have a pretty face
So let's go jump around the bays!
