Here Comes the Night Time

When the sun goes down

When the sun goes down, you head inside

'Cause the lights don't work

Yeah, nothing works, they say you don't mind

Here comes the night time

Here comes the night time

Here comes the night time

And the missionaries

They tell us, we will be left behind

Been left behind a thousand times, a thousand times

If you wanna be righteous

If you wanna be righteous, get in line

'Cause here comes the night time

Here comes the night time

Here comes the night time

Here comes the night time

Look out, here comes the night time

Here comes the night

Here comes the night time

Look out, here comes the night time

They say, heaven's a place

Yeah, heaven's a place and they know where it is

But you know where it is

It's behind the gate, they won't let you in

And when they hear the beat

Comin' from the street, they lock the door

But if there's no music

Up in heaven, then what's it for?

When I hear the beat

My spirit's on me like a live wire

A thousand horses

Runnin' wild in a city on fire

But it starts in your feet

Then it goes to your head

And if you can't feel it

Then the roots are dead

And if you're the judge

Then what is our crime?

Here comes the night time

Here comes the night time

Here comes the night time

Here comes the night time

Look out, here comes the night time

Here comes the night

Here comes the night

Look out, here comes the night

Here comes the night

Here comes the night

Here comes the night, the night, the night, the night TIME

Now, the preachers, they talk

Up on the satellite

If you're lookin' for hell

Just try lookin' inside

Here comes the night time, the night time

Here comes the night time, the night time

Here comes the night time, the night time

Here comes the night time, the night time

Here comes the night time, the night time

When you look in the sky

Just try lookin' inside

God knows what you might find

When you look in the sky

Just try lookin' inside

God knows what you might find

Here comes the night time
