Night Life
Scissor Sisters Lyrics

I was a young girl
When I was younger, I was inexperienced and naive

Knew next to nothing
I didn't have much knowledge or understanding

Living in the suburbs
I grew up in the outskirts of the city

And my heart was lusting
I had a strong desire or passion for something more

For a new way
I longed for a different path or direction

And a new sound
I craved a fresh or innovative style of music

Crawled over my hang-ups
I overcame my fears or hesitations

In the underground
I discovered something unconventional or outside of the mainstream

I had a break through
I experienced a significant milestone or discovery

I had to shake you
I had to let go of someone who wasn't on the same page as me

You could've come too
There was an opportunity for you to join me

To see my point of view
To understand where I was coming from

We got a breakthrough
Together, we made a significant progress or discovery

It was my debut
It was the first time I premiered or displayed my talent or work

It didn't faze you
You were not affected, bothered or impressed

But it meant something to me
It was significant or important to me

Night life, beneath the surface
The underground scene or lifestyle that's not visible or noticed by the mainstream

Night life, some say it's worthless
Some people consider the underground culture or nightlife as pointless or meaningless

High life, instead of being
Choosing the lifestyle that's more opulent or luxurious

Inside, it's a song you're singing
On the inside, you're passionate and expressive about something that resonates with you

Night life, if there's no spirit
If there's no passion or essence in the underground lifestyle, it's not worth pursuing

Night life, then don't go near it
If you're not interested in the underground culture or nightlife, don't bother getting involved

Night life, to have it over
To experience or enjoy the underground lifestyle

Inside, you can find your life in the night life
You can discover meaning and purpose in the underground culture or nightlife

If you are feeling
If you're experiencing

Like you don't have nothing
Like you have nothing or lack something

Under pressure in the cooker
Feeling stressed or overwhelmed

With your head in the oven
Feeling suicidal or hopeless

So come on down
Get involved

Life ain't never really over
Life is full of possibilities or opportunities

When you're underground
When you're involved in the underground culture or lifestyle

You need a breakthrough
You need to have a significant progress or discovery

You need to make do
You need to cope or manage with what you have

You need to come to
You need to arrive at or accept something

A brand new point of view
A different or fresh perspective

And then get wise too
Become knowledgeable, experienced or smart

Our love is taboo
Our love is prohibited or morally unacceptable

And you'll be something to see
You'll be remarkable or impressive to witness

Night life, it's a heart you're racing
The underground lifestyle or culture is thrilling, exciting or stimulating

Night life, it's a billion daisies
The underground culture or lifestyle is a world of endless possibilities or opportunities

Night life, it's the cash your making
The underground culture or lifestyle can be profitable or lucrative

It's beneath the surface
It's hidden or not visible on the surface

Some say it's worthless
Some people consider it pointless or meaningless

It's a low gut feeling
It's an instinctive or intuitive feeling

It's the rush you're feeling
It's the excitement or adrenaline you're experiencing

You can beg your spirit
You can appeal or call upon your inner self or soul

If you let that leave it
If you lose your spiritual or internal connection

It's the back you're breaking
It's the physical, emotional or mental effort or strain you're putting in

Are you in for the night life
Are you ready or willing to get involved in the underground culture or nightlife?

Night life, night life, night life
Repetition of the phrase 'night life' for emphasis or reinforcement

Night life, low life, inside
The opposite of a luxurious or high-end lifestyle happens within the underground culture

Night life, love life, inside
The underground lifestyle provides a sense of purpose, passion or love

Find your way to hide in the night life
Find a way to blend in or become part of the underground culture or lifestyle

You can find a life in the night life
You can discover meaning, purpose or fulfillment in the underground culture or lifestyle
