Oh how the night changes life as we know it
people are less aware
shame vanishes, embarrassment is nonexistent
dancing is the new walking, flirting the new talking
feet hurt but they are supposed to
legs are tired, which is completely normal
desires change, politeness turns into lust
eyes burn fire fire they scream
resting is for the weak you think and drink and dance a little more
once I'm out, I'm out
an entire lifetime happens in one night
I can fall in love, be high, feel low, dance until I'm up again and fall deeper in love
it's all right baby you tell me it's all good until the morning comes
the sun brings businessmen and with them suits and
suitcases filled with files and traffic jams
that's when I remember I have a key that opens the door to
my bed
where sore legs can lay
where I can stay an entire day
wrapped in blankets and yesterdays clothes
I won't open eyes anymore
