Pat Fortney - The Night Is Ours Lyrics

You can feel it rising up high
Like a phoenix on the rise
A fire is starting to burn bright
Things are really heating up tonight

The hour is late; the streets are dark
Windows are closed and the doors are locked
Families have turned in for the night
The streets are quiet and we finally

Own the night
The night is ours
The night is ours
And it's just you and me

We're both trying to beat the clock
Pay the bills and increase our stock
Raise the perfect nuclear family
And provide for every need

Daytime responsibilities
Powering through; rolling up our sleeves
The 9 to 5 belongs to them
They own our time and they tell us when but

Own the night
We own the night
We own the night

We own the night
The night is ours
The night is ours
And it's just you and me
