This Is the Night Songtext

von Jarvis Cocker

When all is dark and there's no light
Lost in the deepest star of night
I see you

Your hands are shakin' baby
You ain't been sleepin' lately
There's something out there
And it don't seem very friendly, does it?
If I could help you
I would help ya'
But it's difficult
There's somethin' much more powerful
And those far-fetched possessing me
I got to get to grips 'a
I don't want to feel like this 'a
Your voice keeps haunting me
I cannot eat or sleep
I'm going crazy
In this hazy fantasy
You put a spell on me
Oh, but I ain't going out alone

[Chorus]
So take your hands off me
Tonight I'm breaking free
This is the night
This is the night

[Chorus]

There was a time
I would have walked
On burning coals for you
Sailed across the ocean blue
From the highest mountain
Just to call your name
The moon throws down its light
And cuts me to the quick tonight
Change is in the air
Nothing will never be the same
You still look good to me
Ooh, but you're no good for me
I close my eyes
And squeeze you from my consciousness
And in the morning when I wake
I walk the line
I walk it straight
But the morning's so many miles away
You've got now

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

This is the night,
This is the night,
This is the night,
This is the night,
This is the night,
This is the night,
This is the night,
This is the night.

This is the night, yeah!

This is the night, alright.

This is the night, ooh.

This is the night.
