When the sun goes down, When the sun goes down you head inside Because the lights don't work, Nothing works but you don't mind Here comes the night time The missionaries tell us we will be left behind Been left behind a thousand times, a thousand times If you want to be righteous, if you want to be righteous Get in line Here comes the night time Here comes the night time Look out, here comes the night time Now here comes the night Here comes the night 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 When they hear the beat coming from the street the lock the door, If there's no music up in heaven then what's it for? When I hear the beat, my spirit's on like a live wire A thousand horses running wild in a city on fire It starts in your feet, then it goes to your head And if you can feel it, then the rules are dead And if you're the judge, then what is our crime? Here comes the night time. Now the preachers they talk [?] If you're looking for hell, just try looking inside When you look in the sky, just try looking inside God knows what you might find Here comes the night time
