[Verse 1]
In this world of wild illusion
My room cold as the grave
Yes she knows
I never pull my shade

Is it a fear, fear of madness
Or some strange alchemy
Is it a fear of fear itself
I think I'll get deranged

[Chorus]
Then the night comes
I'm gonna be free
(Never enough, then the night comes)
Then the night comes
I'm gonna be me
(Never enough, then the night comes)

[Verse 2]
Never enough, haunts my psyche
Never enough, forever
Never enough
As I begin to shroom

Here she comes so wild so horny
My stony-eyed Medusa
She's acting strange, insane
Oh yeah, we're gonna get deranged

[Chorus]
Then the night comes
She's gonna be free
(Never enough, then the night comes)
Yeah, then the night comes
I'm gonna be me
(Never enough, then the night comes)

Oh, then the night comes
Baby, make me
(Never enough, then the night comes)
If the devil comes
He gonna tangle with me
(Never enough, then the night comes)

[Verse 3]
I take some GHB
I feel love, joy
And wonderful ringing music
Now, I just got to be me

We're here now, embrace this madness
We're here now for sorcery
We're here now, there is no sadness
So take this town and bring it down

[Chorus]
When the night comes
I'm gonna be free
(Never enough, then the night comes)
Then the night comes
I'm gonna be me
(Never enough, then the night comes)

Then the night comes
Yeah, then she comes
(Never enough, then the night comes)
Mmm baby
I'm gonna be free
(Never enough, then the night comes)

Yeah yeah, then the night comes
Whoo, then the night comes
Come on, whoo, then the night comes
Come on yeah, then the night comes

Then the night comes
Mmm, then the night comes
(Never enough, then the night comes)
Alright, then the night comes
Yeah, we're alright
When the night comes

(Never enough, then the night comes)
(Never enough)
(Never enough, then the night comes)
(Never enough)

(Never enough, then the night comes)
(Never enough)
(Never enough, then the night comes)
(Never enough)

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
