Album:

Back to the Night

Leaves burnt by the sun 
 And there's no wind blowing 
 See the motor cars with a smiling face at the wheel 
 I'm watching the little girls 
 With their young men at their heels 
 It's a sunny day 
 But get me back to the night 
 'Cause I love that life 
 Back to the night 
 Like a skinny burlesque queen 
 I love a neon 
 Skyline


 Sweet smiling rose 
 The night life perfume 
 See the romeos dancing under the moon light 
 I see the night 
 Night was made for romance 
 You keep your sunny day 
 Just get me back to the night 
 'Cause I love that life 
 Back to the night 
 Like those skinny burlesque queens 
 I love a neon skyline 
 Got the card sharks hustling 
 At the break of the moon 
 Gay night walkers 
 Old blues buskers 
 All night long there's just so much to do


 Just get me back to the night 
 Oh I love the life 
 Back to the night 
 Like a skinny burlesque queen 
 I love a neon skyline
