[Intro]
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a scream for you and me

[Verse 1]
It's a sleepy sort of night, the last thing that I want is sleep
It's a peaceful sort of night, the last thing that I want is peace
I throw caution to the wind and it comes flying back at me
It's the calm before the storm and something's gonna clobber me

[Verse 2]
Put your ear down to the ground, can't you hear those stomping feet
And the swishing of those gowns, the laughing and the 4/4 beat
It takes a special kind of thrill to stand out in this day and age
Everybody looks so good and everyone is good in bed

[Chorus]
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a dream for you and me
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a scream for you and me

[Verse 3]
I've got a Sam and Dave revue playing in my heart tonight
I've got a pebble in my shoe, even that feels good tonight
All those Big Mac wrappers dancing down the street dance better than I do
But you can't fight City Hall no matter what you say or do
[Chorus]
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a dream for you and me
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a scream for you and me

[Spoken Word]
It's a sleepy sort of night
It's a peaceful sort of night

[Chorus]
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a dream for you and me
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a scream for you and me
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a dream for you and me
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a scream for you and me

[Verse 4]
It's your patriotic duty to look as good as you can
It's your patriotic duty to dance with me

[Chorus]
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a dream for you and me
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a scream for you and me
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a dream for you and me
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a scream for you and me
[Outro]
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a dream for you and me
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a scream for you and me
