[Verse 1] When the sun goes down When the sun goes down, you head inside Cause the lights don't work Yeah nothing works- they say you don't mind [Chorus] But here comes the night time Here comes the night time Here comes the night time [Verse 2] And the 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 It starts in your feet, then it goes to your head And if you can't feel it, then the rules are dead And if you're the judge, what is our crime? Here comes the night time Here comes the night time Here comes the night time [Chorus] [Break] Now the preachers they talk up on the satellite If you're looking for Hell, just try looking inside [Chorus] [Verse 4] 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
