Lyrics

Come to my door, meet me at midnight
I can't wait anymore, and after midnight
We must head for the town
Keep under cover till dawn
With a bagful of wine;

The night is alive, look in the shadows
Because now is the time, out in the shadows
To be somebody else, a complete transformation
From the someone we are in the day;

I hear a noise - there is something going on;
I hear a voice - there is something going on;
I see the boys - there is something going on;
And something is happening to me, yea;

I love the night, I love the night
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight
I love the night, I love the night
I love to dance with a stranger and feel her delight
And when the dancing is through, I kick off my shoes
And I listen to the beating of my heart..

After the fall, then came the hunger
In the hearts of us all, ooh such a hunger
That begins after dark, hides in the heart
Like a wolf that is waiting inside;

I see a light - there is something going on;
It's getting bright - there is something going on;
I look outside - there is something going on;
And someone is calling to me;

I love the night, I love the night
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight
I love the night, I love the night
I love to be with a stranger and feel her delight
And when the morning begins, I have to get in
Before sunlight can fall upon my face;

I love the night, I love the night
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight
I love the night, I love the night
