Fear Cult - Night Life (While You Were Sleeping)

While you were sleeping I found my place to be free
While you were sleeping I found my sanctuary
The City streets they move and breath
They breed such filth and sin
The night shift comes to set the stage, the fashion show begins
Electricity flows through the city's veins
Like as fast as lightning
Like a ghost train
The city's alive and the city's insane
Give me the fast life (night life) minus the pain
The night can seem like paradise when seen through eyes like mine
The flame of my love for the night, no greater light could shine
The Iron tongue of midnight licks that enchanted hour
If only you weren't sleeping you could feel it's brilliant power
The way the shadows drape and veil
The sun falls out of sight
My soul it seems to come alive
Sinks deep into the night
Bondage collars, patent leather,
five foot boas and peacock feathers,
men in drag and holding hands,
gutter punks and death rock bands,
the homeless and the well to do,
the old school veterans and the new,
and on the corner love's for sale
Tonight we mix heaven with hell.
