I know just what you're thinking
I know just how you feel
Something somewhere insides you
Says you can't believe it's real
So you're gonna play the game
All the faces and the names
And you know you're never gonna change

Fool for the night
And you don't believe it
Fool for the night
And you just can't see it

Running through the shadows
Like a phantom through the night
And as the curtain raises
You get ready for the fight
Say you want to even up the score
Don't know what you're doing it for
Too much but you still need more

Fool for the night
And you don't believe it
Fool for the night
And you still can't see it

Ain't gonna try and tell ya
You know the story oh so well
Everybody's out to buy and sell ya
You're gonna wind up by yourself
Oh, here it comes again
No it's never gonna end, no
I must be dreaming

Fool for the night
Ain't gonna try and tell ya
You know the story oh too well
Everybody's out to buy and sell ya
You're gonna wind up by yourself
Oh, here it comes again
And I know it's never gonna end
I must be dreaming

You love the night life
For the neon and the noise
And underneath the spotlight
You keep rocking with the boys
So you're gonna get it while you can
But you're never gonna understand
Nobody really gives a damn

Fool for the night and you don't believe it
Fool for the night why don't you see it
