The riffraff and bar staff they've all gone to bed And the clocks are all checking the time And the candle light fades so the guitars can say That the night's just beginning to shine The day's long demands, now they're all far away And the work and the worry are gone Cause the nighttime belongs to our souls and our songs And tomorrow is still far away When your keys and tequila have been stoled by your friends And the salt's left to suck on the lime It's the fire in your chest I'd say says it best That the night's just beginning to shine The day's long demands, now they're all far away And the work and the worry are gone And the stars in the sky, they wink while they cry Cause tomorrow is still far away You can close both your eyeballs and soak up the scene And just sketch it all flesh in your mind Cause it's the edge of the trance where the ankle bells dance And where the night's just beginning to shine When incensed and indecent make out on the floor And propriety snorts back her line Well a kiss means as much as tonight we've been touched And tonight's just beginning to shine And the day's long demands, now they're all far away And the work and the worry are gone And consequence hides her face from her eyes Cause tomorrow is still far away
