Lyrics Jonathan Richman

Jonathan Richman

The Night Is Still Young

Here I am driving around at 3 am

looking for people who I don't know

well they said party at 1:32

and I said yeah I want to go

because the night is still young

and the band is just cold

and I'm tired of spending time all alone

well driving around and I can't find nothing

maybe she said 1:36 or something

I don't want to give up and go home

at 1:32 they turned out the light

maybe I didn't get the address right

but if I go home now I'll never know

because the night is still young

and the band is just cold

and I'm tired of hanging around all alone

Well the party's getting mellow at 5 am

that's when the dreamy things happen

a green and purple fog begins to glow

when you're tired tired and you can't talk straight

that's the way I want to communicate

because then a certain feeling starts to show

and the night is still young

and the band is still cold

and I'm tired of hanging around all alone.
