I the Mighty - Nightlife lyrics
[I the Mighty - Nightlife lyrics]
All along the Western Plains
The lions lick their teeth
With a look in their eyes
The one you're giving me tonight
And all along the country side
The morning doves will call
For the sun will soon come and wake them all
With a brand new start, a world apart from us
But each time you drop a line
It seems you're lying through your teeth
Stop wasting all my time
I've only got an hour to kill
Let's not waste it all with talking
We've only got tonight
All along the New York strip
The people wait and watch
For the change of the light
These little rest stops from their lives
All along suburban streets
The kids come out to play
And take advantage of the fact
That there's no rain today
But how different things become
When night's the only time of day you're up
But each time you drop a line
It seems you're lying through your teeth
Stop wasting all my time
I've only got an hour to kill
Let's not waste it all with talking
We've only got tonight, tonight
Just stop stop blaming all your flaws on God
And acting bashful when we
Both know you're not
You act surprised when you look
Up at the clock
"Oh it's so late!" like you forgot just stop
Stop playing like you care so much
When you know neither of us
Care to keep in touch you're just like me
Life's got you jaded on love
Oh, we both don't care enough
But each time you drop a line
It seems you're lying through your teeth
Stop wasting all my time
I've only got an hour to kill
Let's not waste it all with talking
We've only got tonight, tonight
The lions lick their teeth
With a look in their eyes
The one you're giving me tonight
And all along the country side
The morning doves will call
For the sun will soon come and wake them all
With a brand new start, a world apart from us
But each time you drop a line
It seems you're lying through your teeth
Stop wasting all my time
I've only got an hour to kill
Let's not waste it all with talking
We've only got tonight
All along the New York strip
The people wait and watch
For the change of the light
These little rest stops from their lives
All along suburban streets
The kids come out to play
And take advantage of the fact
That there's no rain today
But how different things become
When night's the only time of day you're up
But each time you drop a line
It seems you're lying through your teeth
Stop wasting all my time
I've only got an hour to kill
Let's not waste it all with talking
We've only got tonight, tonight
Just stop stop blaming all your flaws on God
And acting bashful when we
Both know you're not
You act surprised when you look
Up at the clock
"Oh it's so late!" like you forgot just stop
Stop playing like you care so much
When you know neither of us
Care to keep in touch you're just like me
Life's got you jaded on love
Oh, we both don't care enough
But each time you drop a line
It seems you're lying through your teeth
Stop wasting all my time
I've only got an hour to kill
Let's not waste it all with talking
We've only got tonight, tonight
