NIGHT LIFE (WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING) Songtext

While you were sleeping I found my place to be free - While you were sleeping I found my sanctuary - The City streets they move and breath - They breed such filth and sin - The night shift comes to set the stage, the fashion show begins - Electricity flows through the city's veins - Like as fast as lightning - Like a ghost train - The city's alive and the city's insane - Give me the fast life (night life) minus the pain - The night can seem like paradise when seen through eyes like mine - The flame of my love for the night, no greater light could shine - The Iron tongue of midnight licks that enchanted hour - If only you weren't sleeping you could feel it's brilliant power - The way the shadows drape and veil - The sun falls out of sight - My soul it seems to come alive - Sinks deep into the night - Bondage collars, patent leather, five foot boas and peacock feathers, men in drag and holding hands, gutter punks and death rock bands, the homeless and the well to do, the old school veterans and the new, and on the corner love's for sale - Tonight we mix heaven with hell.
