  • The burning sun hangs over the city
    You and me baby, we don't feel nothing at all
    From nine to five we're lost
    This life ain't so pretty
    But when the sun goes down
    We know that we can stand tall

    I just can't wait
    For the night to come
    'Cause when the shadows cover the light
    We're the only ones
    'Cause baby, we
    We belong to the night
    Yes, baby, we
    We belong to the night
    By day we just survive
    But after dark, we come alive
    'Cause baby, we
    We belong to the night

    Dancing' on the street
    In the heat of the neon
    The quiet in the cool night air
    Makes it easy to breathe
    The music that we hear in our heats
    Gives us something to dream of
    'Cause when that lonely soul that calls
    It's those dreams that we'll need
    To keep us strong
    To take us far
    Far away from the pain of the days
    'Cause that's a cruel mental start

    But baby, we
    We belong to the night
    Yes baby, we
    We belong to the night
    By day we just survive
    But after dark, we come alive
    'Cause baby, we
    We belong to the night


    Ahh ahh-ahh-ahh
    We belong to the night
    Yes, yes baby, we
    We belong to the night
    By day we just survive
    But after dark, we come alive
    'Cause baby, we
    We belong to the night
    We belong to the night
    We belong to the night
