Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The burning sun hangs over the city
You and me, baby, we don't feel nothing at all
From nine to five, we're lost
This life ain't so pretty
But when the sun goes down
We know that we can stay and talk
[Verse 2]
I just can't wait
For the night to come
'Cause when the shadows cover the light
We're the only ones
[Verse 3]
'Cause, baby, we
We belong to the night
Yes, baby, we
We belong to the night
By day, we just survive
But after dark, we come alive
'Cause, baby, we
We belong to the night
[Verse 4]
Dancing on the street
In the heat of the neon
The quiet in the cool night air
Makes it easy to breathe
The music that we hear in our hearts
Gives us something to dream of
'Cause when that lonely soul that calls
It's those dreams that we'll need
To keep us strong
To take us far
Far away from the pain of the days
'Cause that's a cruel mental start
[Verse 5]
So, baby, we
We belong to the night
Yes, baby, we
We belong to the night
By day, we just survive
But after dark, we come alive
Well, baby, we
We belong to the night
[Verse 6]
We belong to the night
Yes (Baby) yes, baby, we
We belong to the night
By day, we just survive
But after dark, we come alive
'Cause, baby, we
We belong to the night
We belong to the night
We belong to the night
[Verse 7]
(To the night)
(We belong to the night)
(We belong to the night)
(We belong to the night)
(We belong to the night)
(We belong to the night)
(We belong to the night)
(We belong to the night)
(We belong to the night)
(We belong to the night)
