When the sun goes down, down, down, down
Boy are you afraid of the dark, dark?
And when the lights go out, out, out, out
Tell me, do you know where to start, start?
And when the bass gets loud, loud, loud
That is when I feel apart, apart
And when the world screams "sound, sound, sound"
Where the sound is the key of my heart, heart

We run as we run the night, the night
We run as we run the night, ni-night, night, ni-ni-night
We run as we run the night, we-we-we run, we-we-we run, run
We run as we run the night, the night, ni-ni-ni-ni

Run the night, run 'em, run 'em
Run the night, run 'em, run 'em

Feelin' like a rush, rush, rush
Pushing past me all over my skin, ski-i-i-in
I can get enough, 'nough, 'nough
'Cause the beat keep pullin me in, in
Takin' me so high, up, up, up
A place that I've never been, ahh
Party, party all night, night, night
Sleep all day then do it again, 'gain

We run as we run the night, the night
We run as we run the night, ni-night, night, ni-ni-night
We run as we run the night, we-we-we run, we-we-we run, run
We run as we run the night, the night, ni-ni-ni-ni

Run the night, run 'em, run 'em
Run the night, run 'em, run 'em

We run as we run the night, the night (we run, we run)
We run as we run the night, ni-night, night, ni-ni-night (we run the night, the night)
We run as we run the night, we-we-we run, we-we-we run, run
We run as we run the night, the night, ni-ni-ni-ni

    Didn't know who to find this under. It's apart of my work out music. I love dance music for that reason. ;) Aww yeah! Gets the heart rate up that's for sure. :)

    The lyrics are missing the "whoop" parts.

    this is just another dance son with great vocals and upbeat music! It is about a club in the night when she finds peace when everyone gets united and shouts together. She is not afraid of the dark and just wants to enjoy and forget all her worries.

Gentle Hour

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
