Up All Night

Wild is the wind that strips away our sins
Yours is the night, but you don't know where to begin
But I heard you say
You've got a feeling that it's just around the bend
I heard you say
Sometimes you fall into the arms of no-one at all
I mean to say that that's alright
I did what I could!
Oh, sometimes I run
Yeah, sometimes I fall
L O V E, I'll see you later
L O V E, I'll see you later

Yours is the fire that gets in my head
Mine is desire, so let it burn down your bed
Cause I heard about those stories, yeah
I guess everyone has
I heard them say sometimes you fall
Just on your own with no-one at all
I mean to say that that's alright
I did what I could!

Oh, sometimes I run
Yeah, sometimes I fall
L O V E, I'll see you later
L O V E, I'll see you later

Oh, sometimes I run
Yeah, sometimes I fall
L O V E, I'll see you later
L O V E, I'll see you later

I know a girl with the golden touch
She's got enough, she's got too much
But I know, you wouldn't mind
You could have it all if you wanted
You could have it all if it mattered so much
But then all they know is how to put you down
When you're there, they're your friend
But then when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
We know what they mean
Well they mean, they're just jealous
Because they never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well

That kind of girl, yes she's never alone
You leave a thousand messages on her phone
But you know you never get through
And you could have it all if you wanted, girl
You could have it all if it matters to you

But then all they know is how to put you down
When you're there, they're your friend
But then when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
Oh we know what that means
Well it means they're just jealous
But they'll never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well

I saw my girl with the golden touch
Give 'em a taste but not too much
I just can't listen to the words of fools
I don't give away too much
Someone will need your golden touch

Because all they know is how to put you down
When you're there, they're your friend
And then when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
And we know what that means
Well it means they're just jealous
But they'll never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well
(repeat)

We talked all night about suicide and she said
If this is living, how come I never feel alive?
The first time you're there, it really gets you up
Second times are alright
But it's just not enough, no
It shoots through your veins
Tears all your nerves apart
Well you get it and go, you get it and go
You know it's alright, you know it's alright
You get it and go, you get it and go
You get a little high, you get a little low

I've seen you dance so many times
You had your hands in your pockets, she said
I just got this message on my phone
And it's blowing my mind
You know it's tearing me up inside out

Strangles me, strangles me, you know
First time you're there, it really gets you up
Second times are alright
But its the second circle of hell in your mind
It shoots through your veins
And tears all your nerves a-a-a-apart

Just get it and go, just get it and go
You know it's alright, you know it's alright
Just get it and go, just get it and go
You get a little high, you get a little low
You get it and go, you get it and go
You know it's alright, you know it's alright
You get it and go, you get it and go
You get a little high, and you get a little low

Well if it's all so hard
Why don't you slide on down with me?
And if you're hanging on my words, yeah
Well that's alright with me
Because it's just so easy
And we'll be all rare

You get it and go, you get it and go
You know it's alright, you know it's alright
You get it and go, you get it and go
you get a little high, you get a little low
You get it and go, you get it and go
You get it and go, you get it and go
You know it's alright, you know it's alright

Count your fingers one to four
1-2-3-4 and thats it

I lost the sacred feeling but I
Made a couple of friends and now
Our things have never looked so good
Our things have never been so clear
And now I'm alone with you
I'm always up all night
And I get music running in my head
And I, I lose the strength to fight
Cause I, I've been up all night
She's been up all night
We're, we're just up all night

This town is for the counterfeit dreamers
And maybe I'm one too, well I
I keep my hand behind my back when I
I don't know what else to do
The streets that I grew up in, they might mean
Nothing to you, but I
I'll show you where I come from if you please
Just tell me what I'm supposed to do

Cause I, I've been up all night
She's been up all night
We're, we're just up all night

That sweet and sacred feeling you know
Will never last long
Every time you turn around you'll see
One more part of you, yes it's gone
I need your spirit darling
And lend me your helping hand, and I
I'll meet you in the morning
When I've broken up the band

Cause I've been up all night
She's been up all night
We're, we're just up all night

And I've been up all night
She's been up all night
We're, we're just up all night
I've been up all night...

I heard that it was a really big deal
But then I found out it was just nothing at all
You always say it's such a big deal
But we both know that that's nothing at all
And I get over the breaks
And I, I stumble and fall
And I get over the breaks
And sometimes stumble and fall

You just wont admit that it's all in your hands
So I have to try so hard to make you understand
But all you can say is "It's just part of the deal"
And I never asked you to understand
How I keep myself to myself in the crush of the crowd
But all you can say is
"Who cares? It's part of the deal"

And I get over the breaks
And I, I stumble and fall
And I get over the breaks
And sometimes stumble and fall

Well I, I get over the breaks
And I stumble and fall
And I get over the breaks
And sometimes stumble and fall
Yes I fall
Yes I fall
I stumble and fall

Well it's a close one, a real close one
And no-one gets hurt, but she's got twice the fun
But now they kiss in the rain
And did someone call out someone's name
From a white cadillac on a wide wind
To her white dress across the great divide
Into the warm moonlight
And she's been reading Bukowski for days
And she leans over, spits her name in my face
And says "Well now you know how it feels"
Well now you know how it feels

And I was looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you in the city last night

The boys in the band steal a kiss in the mystery of the night
11:59 to zero, live a blonde hair in jeans, holds her tight
Turns on the heat and starts to fight and sayin' "that's my man"
Well the myth of love must have been there
The spirit of possession was there

And the boys over at the bar
Yeah they're mixing up their medicine
The girls were on their mobile trying to get reception
Johnny's shadow's getting long but he keeps on singing
His shadow getting long but he keeps on singing:

And I was looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you in the city last night

And people so strange
People so strange
People just keep talking in the city last night

Take off your shades and scroll down to number nine
You're living on the guest list, up against the big rack
Head back, hand highs, it's getting loud in here
Think you're going to have to shout
And she's tearing off her clothes
He's stirring all his drinks, oh yeah
Streets divide them
It's an empire of signs
Honey say she can read
And it looks like trouble
And it tastes like chocolate if you want it
It looks like trouble
And it tastes like chocolate if you want it

Still I was looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you in the city last night

And people so strange
People so strange
People just keep talking in the city last night

And I was looking for you
And I was looking for you
And I was looking for you in the city last night

And I was looking for you
Yeah I was looking for you
Yeah I was looking for you in the city last night

It's alright!
It's alright!
If you say my name
It's alright!
