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
