Lyrics
Nighttime
There's a time of night when things get too quiet.
People look down and their faces seem hollow.
Listen to footsteps that seem to follow.
Take a look in the dark see the hallow of a gallows.
Nighttime is anytime - any place
it's anytime - It's my time
Nighttime is anytime - I like it
any place - it's anytime
It's our time
I like fog in the night, it steps up the drama.
I like cats that howl and wake up my mamma.
I like a slippery feel when I slide down the alley,
I don't want to lie down until the morning finds me.
One of these days I'm gonna stay in bed,
lie there still they'll think I'm dead.
Slip away when the night is black,
dive into darkness and won't come back.
Nighttime is anytime - any place
it's anytime - It's my time
Nighttime is anytime - I like it
any place - it's anytime
It's our time
When a full moon rises up and the fog comes and wraps around your ankles
you can hear all the moans and the sighs and the whispers that the daylight
strangles.
Look out on that highway see the headlights tangle.
Oh yeah, nighttime slithers by
