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

[Chorus]

But 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

[Chorus]

But here comes the night time

Here comes the night time

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, the spirit's on like a live-wire

A thousand horses running wild in a city on fire

It starts in your feet, then it goes to your head

And if you can't feel it, then the rules are dead

And if you're the judge, what is our crime?

Here comes the night time

Here comes the night time

Here comes the night time

[Chorus]

But here comes the night time

Here comes the night time

Here comes the night time

Now the preachers they talk up on the satellite

If you're looking for Hell, just try looking inside

[Chorus]

But here comes the night time

Here comes the night time

Here comes 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
