At Night

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She sleeps at night and she wakes at seven I take a nap around ten or eleven And before midnight I take a little rest So I'll be lookin' sharp when ideas come best [Chorus] At night, at night, at night That's when I get my bright ideas [Verse 2] Well, the stars they shine and the streetlights they grin And I invent the world again When the radio waves carry shore to shore Well, I invent the world once more [Chorus] At night, at night, at night That's when I get my bright ideas [Bridge] Let's go, let's go Ah oh, bomp an a bomp an a what dey wo Ah oh, bomp an a bomp an a what dey wo When the sun does not but the streetlights be The other world appears to me [Chorus] At night, at night, at night That's when I get my bright ideas [Verse 3] Well, well, the fog comes in and it's a swirlin' haze You know, when the sea and the sky mix their separate ways I stand on the rocks and I uh stare at the sea and I see Jumpin', bumpin', electric-o-ty [Chorus] At night, at night, at night That's when I get my bright ideas, yeah [Verse 4] Well, the stars they go with you while you walk And late at night you can hear 'em talk When the daylight ain't but the planets are The door to the arcane is thrust ajar [Chorus] At night, at night, at night That's when I get my bright ideas [Bridge] Alright, let's go Ah oh, bomp an a bomp an a what dey wo Ah oh, bomp an a bomp an a what dey wo [Verse 5] When the moon is high over Lower Falls When the Cafe Pompeii is wall to wall At night, at night, at night That's when I get my bright ideas [Verse 6] Well sometimes I leave a light on, I admit it So I won't miss what might be happenin', any minute [Chorus] At night, at night, at night That's when I get my bright ideas [Verse 7] One more thing Well, sometimes I leave a light on, way down low so my Friends will know that I'm ready to go [Chorus] At night, at night, at night That's when I get my bright ideas
