Night Fever
Dread Zeppelin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen to the ground, there is a movement all around
There is something goin' down and I can feel it
On the waves of the air, there is dancin' out there
And if it's something we can share, we can steal it

Sweet city woman, she moves through the light
Controllin' my mind and my soul
Reach out for me, girl and the feelin' is right

Night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Night fever, night fever
We know how to show it

Here I am, waiting for this moment to last
Livin' on the music so fine
Born on the wind, making it mine

Night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Night fever, night fever
We know how to show it

In the heat of our love, don't need no help for us to make it
Gimme just enough to take us into the mornin'
I got fire in my mind, I got higher in my walkin'
And I'm glowin' in the dark, I give you warnin'

Ssweet city woman, she moves through the light
Controllin' my mind and my soul
Reach out for me, girl and the feelin' is right

Night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Night fever, night fever
We know how to show it

Here I am, waiting for this moment to last
Livin' on the music so fine
Born on the wind, making it mine

Night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Night fever, night fever
We know how to show it

Night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Night fever, night fever
We know how to show it





Night fever, night fever

The song’s chorus, “Night fever, night fever, we know how to do it, night fever, night fever, we know how to show it” is a celebration of the power of music and dance.
