I know just what you're thinking I know just how you feel Something somewhere insides you Says you can't believe it's real So you're gonna play the game All the faces and the names And you know you're never gonna change Fool for the night And you don't believe it Fool for the night And you just can't see it Running through the shadows Like a phantom through the night And as the curtain raises You get ready for the fight Say you want to even up the score Don't know what you're doing it for Too much but you still need more Fool for the night And you don't believe it Fool for the night And you still can't see it Ain't gonna try and tell ya You know the story oh so well Everybody's out to buy and sell ya You're gonna wind up by yourself Oh, here it comes again No it's never gonna end, no I must be dreaming Fool for the night Ain't gonna try and tell ya You know the story oh too well Everybody's out to buy and sell ya You're gonna wind up by yourself Oh, here it comes again And I know it's never gonna end I must be dreaming You love the night life For the neon and the noise And underneath the spotlight You keep rocking with the boys So you're gonna get it while you can But you're never gonna understand Nobody really gives a damn Fool for the night and you don't believe it Fool for the night why don't you see it
