From the recording The Perfect Son
Lyrics
NIGHTLIFE
From the shores of Polynesia
To the dens of ill repute
To the towers of Manhattan
I’m always there for you
I’m just your loving junkie
But i can never get my fix
You're always out of reach from me
A habit i can’t kick
(CHORUS)
Well there are sex clubs
To numb the pain
And there are dance clubs
To bang out the pain
And there are cocktail bars
To drown out the pain
But it’s all in vain
Cuz i wanna feel you
Cuz i wanna feel you
How long will my heart keep beating like this?
How long will my skin keep shedding like this? (You can count my bones)
How long will my heart keep beating like this?
Til it just stops beating
You can count my bones
You can break my heart
You can count my bones
Like the beat, beat of the tom toms
In the jungle of times square
With the shake, shake shake of the ice cubes
My voice repeating Where ….Are You
And what have I done
to end up here with the tick, tick tock
of the hotel clock
Telling me that it’s time to
Telling me that it’s time to stop
CHORUS
Do you wanna go out
Have some fun
So before we’re old
We can tell what we’ve done
Do you wanna go out
Have some fun
So we can tell all the stories of the shit that we’ve done
In the city nightlife
We stayed out til we saw the sun
In the city, in the nightlife
