Lyrics for Tonite

It all starts tonight Tonight's the night I guess So let's go take some drugs And let's go have some sex The first time it's alright The future starts tonight And you cannot make everything alright But you could stop being wrong tonight Tonight Tonight And someone's getting born And someone's getting killed Somebody falls in love Somebody falls from a window-sill But you, you just sit tight Hiding out from life And you cannot set the world to rights But you could stop being wrong Oh, tonight Yeah, tonight Oh, well the past devours the future The world is changing shape And someone's getting a piercing done - For goodness sake! Tonight Tonight Tonight Yeah, tonight All the culture vultures and all the snot-nosed kids And all the so-called artists, wannabes and never-dids You claim you're not involved but you're in up to your neck The night belongs to lovers so show some respect Oh, you cannot set the world to rights But you could stop being wrong tonight Tonight Tonight Oh, Tonight...
