the folks are away, away for the night
the night is still young, the young are all right
you're right if you're wrong, and wrong if you're right
we all are right here, so don't be uptight tonight

i'll give myself a second chance
i want to watch a million billion people dance
when we are perfectly in tune
we bump into each other and we make a little room
i feel like getting up i feel like getting down
i feel like making love to every person in this town
i want to drink myself to sleep i want to smoke my lungs away
i just want to know that everything is going to be okay

i'm just a simple man i sing a simple song
i'm running out of money and my hair is getting long
there's dishes in the kitchen and a phone to be repaired
it's getting close to winter and i'm getting very scared
i know i'm lucky but i need a change of pace
some company tonight would put a smile on my face
i want to take off all my skin i want to throw it all away
i just want to know that everything is going to be ok

is there a place where i can hide
where i can tell my inside from my outside in, inside out?
is happiness and laughter what this life is all about?
when i allow myself to cry
i really know my inside from my outside in, inside out
dealing with the pain is what life is all about
