Whoo-whoo I was a young girl, knew next to nothing
Livin' in the suburns and my heart was lustin'
For a new way and a new sound
Crawled over on my hands to the underground

I wanna break you, I want to shake you
You couldn't come to, to see my point of view
We had a breakthough, it was my debut
It didn't faze you, but it meant something to me 

Nightlife, beneath the surface
Nightlife, some say it's worthless
My life, it's instead of being
Inside, it's a song your singing
Nightlife, if there's no spirit
Nightlife, when a dog don't hear it
My life, to hang it over
Inside, you can find your life in the nightlife

If you are feelin' like you don't have nothin' 
under pressure in a cooker with your head in the oven
There's a new way, so come on down
Lifin' never will be over when you're underground

You need a breakthrough, you need to make do
It didn't come to a brand new point of view
You need to break through and then get wise to
All this taboo and you'll be something to see

Nightlife, beneath the surface
Nightlife, some say it's worthless
My life, it's instead of being
Inside, it's a song your singing
Nightlife, it's a heart you're racin'
Nightlife, it's the pill you' re tastin'
My life, to cash you 're makin'
Inside, you can find your life in the nightlife

It's beneath the surface
Some say it's worthless
It's a low-cut ceiling
It's the rush you're feeling
It can break your spirit
If you let them near it
It's the back you're breaking
Are you willing for the nightlife

Find your way to hide in the nightlife
You can find your life in the nightlife
