(j. jett/r. cantor/m. caruso)



I go out about five

I gotta job to stay alive

Downtown i'm so lost

Every fool around me is my boss

I can't wait to get back

Leaning on your shoulder

We don't sleep you play rough

And when it comes to going down we never get enough



Long live the night

When i can hold my head up high

Long live the night

Cause i know you'll be standing by



And all day i'm just dirt

Don't get no breaks just do the work

I'm so bored i watch the clock

And when the sun is down

I finally get to stop



And i love the things that we do

You really work me over

Don't have to crawl

Life is mean

Cause you make me so tall

And i feel like a queen



Long live the night

When i can hold my head up high

Long live the night

Cause i know you'll be standing by



Long live the night

I'm in your arms and i'm all right

Long live the night

Just keep me from the morning light



You and i have dreams so sweet no one can take away

Til the day we're on our feet

Keep me going cause we got the night

And you know how to do me right



Long live the night

Long live the night

Long live the night

I'm in your arms and i'm all right

Long live the night

I'm safe until the morning light
