When the sun goes down,
When then sun goes down
You head inside.
'Cause the lights don't work,
Yeah nothing works -
They say you don't mind.
But here comes the night time.
Here comes the night time
Here comes the night time
And missionaries,
They 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.
'Cause here comes the night time!
Here comes the night time
Here comes the night time
Here comes the night time
Look out, here comes the night time
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.
And when they hear the beat,
Coming from the street,
They lock the door.
But if there's no music
Up in heaven, then what's it for?
When I hear the beat,
The spirit's on me like a live wire.
A thousand horses running wild
In a city on fire.
But it starts in your feet,
Then it goes to your head.
And if you can't feel it,
Then the roots dead.
And if you're the judge,
Then what is our crime?
Here comes the night time!
Here comes the night time
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!
The night!The night! The night Time!
Now the preachers they talk
Up on the satellite,
If you're looking for hell,
Just try looking inside.
Here comes the night time, the night time!
Here comes the night time, the night time!
Here comes the night time, the night time!
Here comes the night time, the night time!
Here comes the night time, the night time!
When you look in the sky, just try looking inside.
God knows what you might find.
When you look in the sky, just try looking inside.
God knows what you might find.
Here comes the night time.
