Arcade Fire – Here Comes The Night Time lyrics

When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down you head inside
Because the lights don't work
Yeah nothing works but you don't mind
Here comes the night time
Here comes the night time
Here comes the night time

And missionaries
They tell us we will be left behind
Been left behind
A thousand times, a thousand times

If you want to be righteous
If you want to be righteous, get in line
Because here comes the night time

[Chorus:]
Here comes the night time
Here comes the night time
Here comes the night time
Look out! Here comes the night time
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Look out! Here comes the night time!

[Spanish sample]

Say, heaven's a place
Yeah, heaven's a place and they know where it is
Do you know where it is?
It's behind the gate, they won't let you in
When they hear the beat, coming from the street, they lock the door
If there's no music up in heaven, then what's it for?
When I hear the beat, my spirit's on like a live-wire
A thousand horses running wild in a city on fire
It starts in your feet, then it goes to your head
If your feet can't feel it, then the rules are dead
And if you're the judge, what is our crime?
Here comes the night time
Here comes the night time
Here comes the night time

[Chorus:]
Here comes the night!
Here comes the night!
Here comes the night, the night, the night, time!

Now the preachers they talk
Of [?]
If you're looking for Hell, just try looking inside

Here comes the night time, the night time
Here comes the night time, the night time
Here comes the night time, the night time
Here comes the night time, the night time

When you look in the sky, just try looking inside
Got no future my friend
When you look in the sky, just try looking inside
Got no future [?]
Here comes the night time
