There's no heart in this city
There's no love in my street.
Everyone's talking nitti gritti
Wanna move but there's no beat
That I want...
In the nighttime...

I see people running round
In this crazy town
I see them walking on the street
You know what I mean
I got my reasons to wear a frown
My name is spread all over this town
I'd better stop my messing around
'Cause someday it's coming out
in the nighttime...

The traffic lights are always red
The neon lights are bright
Something's buzzing in my head
What's going on tonight
Nothing happens there's no drive
In this nighttime nine-to-five
Crazy people hanging 'round
Buzz a diddle hear that sound
In the nighttime...
