Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
In the night no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walking
Down the street of my soul
[Verse 2]
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me living only for the night
Before the morning comes the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control
[Verse 3]
Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self you take my self control
[Verse 4]
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes
[Verse 5]
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of my dream
(You take my self, you take my self control)
I know the night is not as it would seem
(You take my self, you take my self control)
I must believe in something so I'll make myself believe it
(You take my self, you take my self control)
This night will never go
(You take my self, you take my self control)
[Verse 6]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
[Verse 7]
Oh the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
[Verse 8]
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow so I guess I'll just believe it
Tomorrow never knows
[Verse 9]
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of my dream
(You take my self, you take my self control)
I know the night is not as it would seem
(You take my self, you take my self control)
I must believe in something so I'll make myself believe it
(You take my self, you take my self control)
That this night will never go
(You take my self, you take my self control)
[Verse 10]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[Verse 11]
You take my self, you take my self control
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
You take my self, you take my self control
