The sun’ll slowly go away Orange ending of the day Some’ll quietly go to sleep But that was never quite for me The orange turns a deeper shade And then the sky turns grey While everybody drifts away You know I thrive in the nightlight Around the hours of midnight I'm at it again, at it again, at it again You know I thrive in the nightlight And as the starlight fades away I’m slowin down, I’m looking out, I’m countin down to When the dreams’ll dissipate They disappear, in joy or fear, and as you come to The grey becomes a brighter shade And then the sky turns blue Exactly like my mood You know I thrive in the nightlight Around the hours of midnight I'm at it again, at it again, at it again You know I thrive in the nightlight Escape the day for good Give it, give it, give it up I don’t wanna see, the sun beatin down on me And I hear too much noise around me You know I thrive in the nightlight Around the hours of midnight I'm at it again, at it again, at it again You know I thrive in the nightlight
