Nightlife Lyrics

Searching for ways to ease my mind

I don't wanna be alone to tonight

Trying to resist, to resist, the call of the night

When just for a few hours, the streets seem so alive

Yes I'm looking for a little company

A one-time partner in crime, don't you think it could be alright?

Oh, I know, yes I know, it's not the way to fix my life

And this is not where any answers lie

But somewhere amid all the sirens and lights

A temporary fix is what I'm hoping to find

Out in the streets, it's what the game's about

Out in the streets, I am lost, could you be found?

So this is how, the deal goes down

Scanning the room when the lights go out

Searching for ways to stop my mind

From telling me I threw away what I'm trying to find

Yes it's lonely when you just need one for the road

And once again you're doing it all on your own

Repeat your best lines, maybe for the hundredth time

Oh, and by the way the barmaid - she's being polite

Out in the streets, it's what the game's about

Out in the streets, I am lost, could you be found?

So this is how, the deal goes down

Scanning the room when the lights go out

Searching for ways to stop my mind

From telling me I threw away what I'm trying to find

This is not the way to ease my mind

Don't even know what I'm expecting to find

Looking for my soulmate, hoping for my twin

Almost had it all but I couldn't keep the light in

Out on the town, all alone in a crowd

It's never gonna happen here, I keep looking anyway

So this is how, the deal goes down

Scanning the room when the lights go out

Looking for a pair of eyes I recognise

The ones it's taken a lifetime to try and find

Yes this is how the shit plays out

Alone at the bar in an inappropriate crowd

Searching for ways to ease my mind

Cos I don't wanna be alone tonight
