We Want the Night

I'm payin' rent But there just ain't much left over for me For a shoe box It's the place where I go to sleep Lay my head down and forget my dreams Am I powerless When it comes to the check that I'm bringin' home Cuz common sense Says I should leave this all behind Can't be treading water at 25 Waited all week for the chance to break free So I'll call up my friends And we'll hit the streets Worked so long, almost forgot how to play We'll raise our voices now And no one can take 'em away Cuz we want the night Leave our troubles in the daylight Give us the night Leave our troubles in the daylight We want the night New York The city is a playground for VIPs So dive bars Are the place where we spend our time Cuz cash goes fast in a single night Waited all week for the chance to break free So I'll call up my friends And we'll hit the streets Worked so long, almost forgot how to play We'll raise our voices now And no one can take 'em away Cuz we want the night Leave our troubles in the daylight Give us the night Leave our troubles in the daylight We want the night (Excitement rising as the sun goes down) Leave our troubles in the daylight (Let's raise a glass and toast to make each second count) Give us the night (We're gonna leave our mark on the town) Leave our troubles in the daylight (Getting out of control, dancing till we hit the ground) We want the night And there's no telling There's no telling What to expect or who we'll meet There's no telling What the night brings now Cuz we want the night Leave our troubles in the daylight Give us the night Leave our troubles in the daylight We want the night (Excitement rising as the sun goes down) Leave our troubles in the daylight (Let's raise a glass and toast to make each second count) Give us the night (We're gonna leave our mark on the town) Leave our troubles in the daylight (Getting out of control, dancing till we hit the ground) We want the night
