Steal the Night

For every boy who likes a boy that likes a girl
For every dreamer crucified while casting pearls
For every soul that’s crushed as day turns into night
For the men of faith who died and the angel that takes flight
For God, the poor, the rich, the criminals the rave
The same girls dancing here in Brooklyn and LA
Designer drugs and wars that never seem end
You prayed for Armageddon, now here we are my friend
We’ll steal the night
We’ll steal the night
And make it right
We’ll steal the night from you
For the enemy of my enemy and every tyrant with a gun
And for the stranger who stares into the sun
And doesn’t care but only wishes they’d go blind
I’ve seen the future and the future is unkind
This isn’t paradise, it’s just a shopping mall
Vodka over ice, it’s the memory of the wall
That keeps us at your throat and keeps hope well alive
We are the future and the future is unkind
We’ll steal the night
We’ll steal the night
And make it right
We’ll steal the night from you
Every night I dream I dream alone
Cutting through the flesh and into bone
Every now and then I’m with you safe and stoned
Baby when I dream I dream alone
Stay wake it’s never too late
I’ll always need you
Stay awake it’s never too late
I know I’ll need you
Stay awake it’s never too late
I know I’ll need you
Stay awake it’s never too late
I know I’ll need you
For every naked woman and every empty church
For those who’ve lost their vision, to every heart that hurts
For all the souls that bleed and those who’ve lost their mind
For every wounded dog that’s not afraid to die
We’ll steal the night
We’ll steal the night
We’ll steal the night
