  • 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
    Here comes the night time
    Here comes the night time
    Here comes the night time

    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

    Here comes the night time
    Here comes the night time
    Here comes the night time
    Here comes the night time
    Here comes the night
    Here comes the night time
    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, my 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
    If you can't feel it, then the roots are 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
    Here comes the night time

    Here comes the night!
    Here comes the night!
    Look out, here comes the night!
    Here comes the night!
    Here comes the night!
    Here comes the night, 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 Writer/s: Jeremy Gara, Regine Chassagne, Richard R Parry, Tim Kingsbury, William Butler, Win Butler
