Bliss: When the sun's out, and the moonlight is in It blankets the land and a new life begins With headphones on, stargaze lying in a paddock Feel the veil of the night wrap its inner fabric Get the picture from the photo spinner's magic And let your view go slo-mo and cinematic Kids come far and wide to the urban sprawl All the way to day break when its curtain call They scurry in like sweet syncronicity Moving like music in a street city symphony When people sleep and the ma**es shut shutters Like clockwork, freestyle, after dark buskers Motor full of mates, late night escapades Stealth renegades, burners they set ablaze Paintings flourish all the way down the boulevard Block party, late, whole street full of cars Skaters illuminate the bowl with their headlights Hear the street riders roll when they rev bikes Night riders carve the mountain in the valley haze Covert op, talent sprays in the alleyways Kids in the palace of play, Cloaked in the dark night Summertime shooting hoops under the park lights Guerilla activists seeing freedom clear Across the globe sticking up BNE WAS HERE Chorus: In the evening, when the stars climb You can see them, Children of the night Through the seasons, on the dark side, In the deep end, Children of the night When the day's gone and it unwinds Let them play on till the sunrise Rise till we're all in flight, This is for my people who are - Children of the Night Eso: There's to many places to park down memory lane So let me simply start when I remembered the rain Hit the tin roof, while sitting on my balcony Isolated like a pirate cast out to sea Intrigued by what those city lights offer The world is your oyster type sh*t, And that's proper Hypnotised by it's highs and it's lows A lifestyle that keeps your eyes on the road See there's searchers on the prowl, For that crowbar access And graphers throwing up those whole car cla**ics It's magic to watch the world trying to compete A tapestry of culture intertwined with the beast And that's right where I eat Where the night never sleeps And all I need's a mic and a beat for life in the streets Over years I've put strength in pain Standing strong, writing songs on an empty train Yeah, I've lived a life worth of movies framed through my crooked lens Ive travelled way beyond where the book will end I've seen the visual effects behind the scenes I've found a whole other world trying to find my dreams And temptation will test if you can keep your faith With the smile of a Cheshire cat to lead the way Under night lights, we'll never stop building So welcome to the City of the Lost Children Chorus: In the evening, when the stars climb You can see them, Children of the night Through the seasons, on the dark side, In the deep end, Children of the night When the day's gone and it unwinds Let them play on till the sunrise Rise till we're all in flight, This is for my people who are - Children of the Night Bliss: From the kids in the burbs, playing capture the flag To the cans packed in bags, Lads attack with their tags The core elements, forces of sick sk**s Back lane breakers in an orbit of windmills Writers hit the tracks in the yard Where the trains stay The beat spills and it trickles down the laneways The streets are bubbling, the beats are rumbling The free runners swing across an urban jungle gym Chorus: In the evening, when the stars climb You can see them, Children of the night Through the seasons, on the dark side, In the deep end, Children of the night When the day's gone and it unwinds Let them play on till the sunrise Rise till we're all in flight, This is for my people who are - Children of the Night
