Lyrics

I come alive in the night time

I find vitality and energy during nighttime.

Wake up when the sun goes

I awaken when the sun sets.

I run in the streets under lamps

I move through the streets illuminated by lamps.

When there's shadows taken over the world

When darkness dominates the world, I am liberated.

That's when I'm free to roam

Freedom to wander occurs during these shadowed moments.


Show up to the scene

I arrive at the event or location.

I play a set

I perform a musical set.

They wave their hands and they clap

The audience expresses approval through hand waves and applause.

Yeah well thanks for comin out to the show

Expressing gratitude for attending the show.

Now you don't have to go home

Assuring the audience they don't need to leave immediately.


I can't set it up, I won't go

I cannot arrange or organize, and I won't leave.

There's no control

A sense of lack of control prevails.


I can't break it up, I won't know

I cannot dismantle or separate, and I won't understand.

There's no control

A continued theme of a lack of control.


Turn up the music

Amplify the music volume.

Play something good

Play something enjoyable.

Get up and dance play it loud

Encouraging people to dance loudly and wake up the neighborhood.

Yeah we'll wake up your whole neighborhood

It's time for everyone to join the celebration.

Yeah it's time to come out


Jump up on the table

Climbing onto a table, possibly to command attention.

Go on scream n' shout

Encouraging shouting and excitement.

Yeah baby we're all playin

A collective participation in playing and enjoying.

I hope the sun will never come out

Expressing a desire for the nighttime to persist.

I don't wanna go

Reluctance to leave the current state of enjoyment.


I can't set it up, I won't go

Reiterating the inability to leave or depart.

There's no control

Continued lack of control.


I can't break it up, I won't know

Reiterating the inability to dismantle or separate.

There's no control

A persistent theme of lacking understanding or control.


I can't set it up, I won't go

Reiterating the resistance to arranging or organizing.

There's no control

A continued sense of lack of control.


I can't break it up, I won't know

Reiterating the resistance to dismantling or understanding.

There's no control

A persistent theme of lacking control or comprehension.
