After Dark

After dark when the lights turn on all over the world
Gamblers and musicians, lovers and harlots all turn on
I bid a hearty good mornin' to the evenin' that beckons me on
And dares me to sleep while the night half of the world moves along

After dark when the lights turn on all over the world
You'll find gamblers and musicians, lovers and harlots all turn on
I'll bid a hearty good mornin' to the evenin' that beckons me on
And dares me to sleep while the rest of the world moves along
