All night long
She used to bang on the wall
All night long
Now she gone
Oh couldn't carry on
Yes I'm a leaving the sad little light
Oh where I'm from
That's the noise in the streets
Baby all night long
Now I'm gone
I couldn't carry on
Yes I'm a leaving the sad little light
Oh baby I'm gone
Leaving the city
Yes I'm leaving the city
Outta town today
My got a little
All night long
See your dark fall over me
Baby all night long
Well now she's gone
Mmm couldn't carry on
Yes, I'm leaving the sad little light
And today I'm sure
All night long
That's a little bit too long
Well I'm a pack my bags I'm gone
Yes where I'm going
What dangers I may face
You know I'd a leave this place
Oh I gotta get on get on get on down
Get on down
Well I've been hanging out for too long
Wastin' time
See I've been stickin' runnin' round
Flying circles all the time
Gots to get away
Might not be back no more
See I'm a leaving
Don't you know baby that I'm gone
Oh I'm a leaving
Yes I'm a leaving the city tonight
