Nightlife

We used to ask where the power came from
 And when it would go out
 What would we do when it got dark?
 Hold candles to our doubts
 
 On the first day of school, you stopped holding my hand
 The day the streets opened wide
 Stole my letters, talked you out and inside
 But you loved the nightlife, always a new shade of blue
 The swiss army jacknife never seemed to suit you
 ♪
 So I found someone else to ask my questions to
 With eyes like candles on the wall, a flash of cobalt blue
 And he wasn't quite like you, until he ran away
 I left my coat by the stairs, you didn't notice I had nothing to say
 But you love the nightlife, always a new shade of blue
 The swiss army jacknife, it never seemed to suit you
 Oho-ho-oho-uh
 ♪
 Was it too dull for you?
 
 Was it too dull for you?
 I would have carved these brittle bones
 If you'd asked me to
 But you love the nightlife, always a new shade of blue
 The swiss army jacknife, it never seemed to suit you
 Oho-ho-woh-oh
 You love the nightlife
 You love the nightlife
 You love the nightlife
 ♪
 But will it ever love you?
