I go out about five I gotta job to stay alive Downtown I'm so lost Every fool around me is my boss I can't wait to get back Leaning on your shoulder We don't sleep you play rough And when it comes to going down we never get enough Long live the night When I can hold my head up high Long live the night Cause I know you'll be standing by And all day I'm just dirt Don't get no breaks just do the work I'm so bored I watch the clock And when the sun is down I finally get to stop And I love the things that we do You really work me over Don't have to crawl Life is mean Cause you make me so tall And I feel like a queen Long live the night When I can hold my head up high Long live the night Cause I know you'll be standing by Long live the night I'm in your arms and I'm all right Long live the night Just keep me from the morning light You and I have dreams so sweet no one can take away Til the day we're on our feet Keep me going cause we got the night And you know how to do me right Long live the night Long live the night Long live the night I'm in your arms and I'm all right Long live the night I'm safe until the morning light
