The Ecstasy of Flight

Come to my door, meet me at midnight
I can't wait anymore and after midnight
We must head for the town
Keep under cover till dawn
With a bagful of wine

The night is alive, look in the shadows
Because now is the time, out in the shadows
To be somebody else, a complete transformation
From the someone we are in the day

I hear a noise, there is something going on
I hear a voice, there is something going on
I see the boys, there is something going on
And something is happening to me, yea

I love the night, I love the night
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight
I love the night, I love the night
I love to dance with a stranger and feel her delight
And when the dancing is through, I kick off my shoes
And I listen to the beating of my heart

After the fall, then came the hunger
In the hearts of us all, ooh, such a hunger
That begins after dark, hides in the heart
Like a wolf that is waiting inside

I see a light, there is something going on
It's getting bright, there is something going on
I look outside, there is something going on
And someone is calling to me

I love the night, I love the night
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight
I love the night, I love the night
I love to be with a stranger and feel her delight
And when the morning begins, I have to get in
Before sunlight can fall upon my face

I love the night, I love the night
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight
I love the night, I love the night
