The night is a time
To explore who you are
Are you what you imagined?
How did you get this far?
Life isn’t static
It evolves from the start
As a kind of work in progress
Try to think of it as art
Then everything is clear
Why it is we’re here
Individually the same
Trying to stake a claim to fame
The night is a time
To explore who you are
Are you want you want to be?
Could you really be a star?
Sometimes you want something
You never had
In the middle of the night
You can let yourself go slightly mad
Here in the night
Is a strange democracy
It’s not who you are that matters
But what you could be
Behave as an artist
And the night will work for you
If you learn from your failures
To create something new
Then everything is clear
Why it is we’re here
Individually the same
Trying to stake a claim to fame
The night is a time
To explore who you are
Are you want you want to be?
Could you really be a star?
Sometimes you want someone
You never knew
In the middle of the night
You can make all your dreams come true
To explore who you are
Are you what you imagined?
How did you get this far?
Life isn’t static
It evolves from the start
As a kind of work in progress
Try to think of it as art
Then everything is clear
Why it is we’re here
Individually the same
Trying to stake a claim to fame
The night is a time
To explore who you are
Are you want you want to be?
Could you really be a star?
Sometimes you want something
You never had
In the middle of the night
You can let yourself go slightly mad
Here in the night
Is a strange democracy
It’s not who you are that matters
But what you could be
Behave as an artist
And the night will work for you
If you learn from your failures
To create something new
Then everything is clear
Why it is we’re here
Individually the same
Trying to stake a claim to fame
The night is a time
To explore who you are
Are you want you want to be?
Could you really be a star?
Sometimes you want someone
You never knew
In the middle of the night
You can make all your dreams come true
