Here Comes The Night
David Rock Feinstein Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You come for diamonds, you’re wearing gold
You look for pleasure in the black
Waiting for nightfall, you hear the call
Now find the shadows in the dark
Are you ready to rumble?
Are you ready to fight?
Are you looking for trouble?
’Cause here comes the night

Here comes the night
You wait for darkness, to block the sun
Hoping for treasures in the night
Seek out in random, the easy prey
And then you find it’s time to run, run
Are you ready to rumble?
Are you ready to fight?
Are you looking for trouble?
’Cause here comes the night
Here comes the night
Are you ready to rumble?
Are you ready to fight?
Are you looking for trouble?
’Cause here comes the night
Here comes the night

Here comes the night
Here comes the night
