I The Mighty – Nightlife lyrics

[Verse 1]
All along the Western Plains, the lions lick their teeth
With a look in their eyes, the one you're giving me tonight
And all along the country side, the morning doves will call
For the sun will soon come and wake them all
With a brand new start, a world apart from us

[Chorus]
But each time you drop a line
It seems you're lying through your teeth
Stop wasting all my time
I've only got an hour to kill
Let's not waste it all with talking
We've only got tonight

[Verse 2]
All along the New York strip, the people wait and watch
For the change of the light
These little rest stops from their lives
All along suburban streets, the kids come out to play
And take advantage of the fact that there's no rain today
But how different things become
When night's the only time of day you're up

[Chorus]
But each time you drop a line
It seems you're lying through your teeth
Stop wasting all my time
I've only got an hour to kill
Let's not waste it all with talking
We've only got tonight, tonight

[Bridge]
Just stop
Stop blaming all your flaws on God
And acting bashful when we both know you're not
You act surprised when you look up at the clock
"Oh it's so late!" like you forgot
Just stop
Stop playing like you care so much
When you know neither of us care to keep in touch
You're just like me, life's got you jaded on love
Oh, we both don't care enough

[Chorus]
But each time you drop a line
It seems you're lying through your teeth
Stop wasting all my time
I've only got an hour to kill
Let's not waste it all with talking
We've only got tonight, tonight
