The Thrill of It All

The sky is dark

The wind is cold

The night is young

Before it's old and gray

We will know, oh-oh

The thrill of it all

The time has come

It's getting late

It's now or never

Don't hesitate or stall

When I call, don't spoil

The thrill of it all

And before you go to sleep at night

(Calling me, calling you, calling, calling me, calling you, calling you)

Preying shadows, do they ask you why?

(Calling me, calling you, calling, calling me, calling you, calling you)

And in the morning through the afternoon

(Calling me, calling you, calling, calling me, calling you, calling you)

Do you wonder where you're going to?

(Calling me, calling you, calling, calling me, calling you, calling you)

Every word I use

Each crumpled page

Strange ideas

Mature with age

Like leaves

Oh, when autumn falls

Turn gold

Then they hit the ground

Every time I hear

The latest sound

It's pure whiskey

Reeling 'round and around my brain

Oh, and all that jive

It's driving me wild

The dizzy spin I'm in

Everywhere I look

I see your face

I hear your name

It's all over the place

Hey, girl

Though you've gone

Still I recall

The thrill of it all

You might as well know what is right for you

(Calling me, calling you, calling, calling me, calling you, calling you)

And make the most of what you like to do

(Calling me, calling you, calling, calling me, calling you, calling you)

For all the pleasure that's surrounding you

(Calling me, calling you, calling, calling me, calling you, calling you)

Should compensate for all you're going through

(Calling me, calling you, calling, calling me, calling you, calling you)

So if you're feeling fraught

With mental strain

Too much thinking's

Got you down again

Well, let your senses skip

Stay hip

Keep cool

To the thrill of it all

When you try too much

You lose control

Pressure rises

And so I'm told

Something's got to give

Oy Veh

High life ecstasy

You might as well live

I can't see

I can't speak

I couldn't take more than another week

Without you, oh no

So I will drink my fill

Till the thrill is you

Oh, the thrill of it all

Oh, the thrill of it all

No, I won't forget

The thrill of it all

No, no, no

No, no, no

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
