[Verse 1]
In a perfect world
Of my own design
I'd get rid of the sun
In favor of the moonshine
And if the natural order
Were mine to define
The light in the tunnel
Would be a neon sign

[Chorus]
'Cause I've always loved the nighttime
It feels like mine
If it were only up to me
The sun would never ever shine

[Verse 2]
Well, the moon's invitation
It's gentle and it's kind
And it leaves everyone alone
And to me that is divine
With its modest demonstration
I feel so much less confined
And towards that kind of light
I will always be inclined
[Chorus]
'Cause I've always loved the nighttime
It feels like mine
If it were only up to me
The sun would never ever shine

[Verse 3]
If I could go out on a limb
And make so bold a leap
I'd tell the sun to go down
And sink into the deep (The deep)

[Chorus]
'Cause I've always loved the nighttime
It feels like mine
If it were only up to me
The sun would never ever shine

[Outro]
Ooh, ah
Ah, ah
