i wake up every night

split enz

you arrive at the station

right on time

catch a train to the city

metro line

meet your friends at the corner for a drink

maybe find a girl who can give you everything

all aboard

let's go travelling

up we go

you never know what you got `til you start letting go

i wake up every night

dress up and travel light

without a worry on my mind

i wake up every night

go out and look for life

you never know just what you'll find

i wake up every night

every day taken over by detail

come the night i'm a free man

off the rails

there's emotional baggage in my head

heavy dreams weigh me down like lumps of lead

i wanna liberate myself from all these things

you never know what you got til you stop worrying

i wake up every night

the stars are shining bright

there's magic in the evening air

another day is done

go out and have some fun

endeavour to be near someone

i wake up every night

i wake up every night

i'll follow my dreams tonight

as we go voodoo dancing

mood romancing

you wake up and feel alright and you can hold the shadows

hold the shadows

i wake up every night

i wake up every now and then

i wake up every night

i wake up every now and then

i wake up every night

the stars are shining bright

there's magic in the evening air

i wake up every night

my stomach muscles tight

excited feelings everywhere

i wake up every night.
