Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1]
Oh, the night is my world
City lights, painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall, something breakin'
Wearin' white as you're walkin'
Down the street of my soul
[PreChorus]
You take my self, you take my self-control
You got me livin' only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self-control
Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You're makin' me forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self-control
[Chorus]
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow
So I guess I just believe it that tomorrow never comes
The night, I'm livin' in a moment of a dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something
So I make myself believe it, that this night will never go
[Refrain]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Oh, the night is my world
City lights, painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
[PreChorus]
Oh, the night is my world
You take my self, you take my self-control
City lights, painted girls
You got me livin' only for the night
In the day, nothing matters
Before the morning comes, the story's told
It's the night time that flatters
You take my self, you take my self-control
[Chorus]
A safe night, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow
So I guess I'll just believe it, that tomorrow never knows
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You take my self, you take my
You take my self, you take my
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You take my self, you take my
You take my self, you take my
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You take my self, you take my self-control
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You take my self, you take my self-control
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You take my self, you take my self-control
