You sleep all day and you feast all night
You lose all the nerve
Of a beast that bites
It keeps going higher way up to your neck
And it's killing your senses until you're a wreck

You feel guilty and sorry
Thinking there's no way back - you try not to worry
Looking at your messy shack - many friends help you out
They still believe in you - you're thankful and grateful
But you don't know what to do

When nightlife comes a-callin' - you know you'll be fallin'
And there's no one around when you want them to
The chance that you're takin' - is your magic break in two
Oh, when the nightlife is calling you

You're waiting for someone, someone you can trust
You know she's out there - so you know you ain't lost
You gotta get up earlier get used to the light
You feel it's the only way - the way to your guide
Chorus

You look back and you close your eyes
'cos what you look at, is the old track - it's dark full of lies
