For the Night Day by day we live for nothing We wish the time away Until dusk comes out to play As we say goodbye to the light This city sleeps tonight, still we are wide awake As shadows fall down from the walls they lead the paths we take No sleep tonight we'll stay until the sun returns Then we'll take it home an kep it going until the sunlight burns Then we'll start again Through bloodshot eyes we find our way The streetlights seem as bright as day As daylight dies, we come alive 'Cause we're living for the night Familiar faces pass all around Familiar voices are slowly drowned This creeping darkness gets pierced by light As shots start falling long into the night We start to lose ourselves The night consumes our hell As the night grows cold it's still warm to us As people start to leave this is home to us So when it's time to say goodbye and rest our head and weary eyes We know that tomorrow will bring so much pleasure and pain Still we're yearning to start once again Through bloodshot eyes we find our way Through bloodshot eyes we find our way The streetlights seem as bright as day As daylight dies, we come alive 'Cause we're living for the night
