[Verse 1]
After dark when the lights turn on all over the world
Gamblers and musicians, lovers and harlots all turn on
I bid a hearty good morning to the evening that beckons me on
And dares me to sleep while the night half of the world moves along
[Verse 2]
After dark when the lights turn on all over the world
You'll find gamblers and musicians, lovers and harlots all turn on
I'll bid a hearty good morning to the evening that beckons me on
And dares me to sleep while the rest of the world moves along
After dark when the lights turn on all over the world
Gamblers and musicians, lovers and harlots all turn on
I bid a hearty good morning to the evening that beckons me on
And dares me to sleep while the night half of the world moves along
[Verse 2]
After dark when the lights turn on all over the world
You'll find gamblers and musicians, lovers and harlots all turn on
I'll bid a hearty good morning to the evening that beckons me on
And dares me to sleep while the rest of the world moves along
