[Verse 1]
Debra waiting on the corner
Flaring smile and daring style
Big G cruising, neon flashing
Lost and found
Tinsel town

Daytime orphans join the circus
Climb the rope and walk the wire
To feel the night and music playing
Feed the fire
To feed the fire

[Chorus]
Nightlife, only living for the nightlife
It's the only kind of nightlife
I only come alive for nightlife

[Verse 2]
Couples coasting, singles searching
Loners lost among the crowd
Action turning on reaction
Loosen up
Fool around

Pretzel vendor, first class spender
Limousine and ketchup dream
Pinball hall and roulette roller
Every scene
For everything
[Chorus]
Nightlife, only living for the nightlife
It's the only kind of nightlife
I only come alive for nightlife

Nightlife, only living for the nightlife
The only kind of nightlife
I only come alive for nightlife

[Interlude]

[Outro]
Nightlife
Nightlife
It's the only kind of nightlife
I only come alive for nightlife

Nightlife
It's the only kind of nightlife
I only come alive for nightlife
It's the only kind of nightlife...
