Take All Night

from TAKE ALL NIGHT by Shades of Day

	/

Streaming + Download

a song about going out with some abandon — out into the night, forgetting about all the fears you have and just finding someone to latch onto and having one of those all-nighters. And you know the angel and devil thing on your shoulder? They’re both whispering in your ear (there’s a line in the song that says that) and you don’t really know which way to go, so you kind of end up going with your instincts.

lyrics

I had a bad suspicion
that you two would appear
shoulder to shoulder
whispering in my ear
the red coat screams injustice
the white robe plays the fool
but when those voices come together
they're playin by their own rules

I'm all in pieces
I like your style
Let's roam the boulevard
I'll get you home bout 9
In the morning
cuz I think it's gonna take all night
to get to know you

Still my ears are burning
from the battle far inside
your ponytail of lighting
whips my head round right
my right is a red flag waving
my left is Apollo Truth
when those voices come together
they're playing by their own rules

I'm all in pieces
I like your style
Let's roam the boulevard
I'll get you home bout 9
In the morning
cuz I think it's gonna take all night
to get to know you
