The ecstasy
of flight
Bm - G
1. Come to my door, meet me at midnight,
Bm - G
I can’t wait anymore, and after midnight,
Em C
we must head for the town, keep undercover till dawn,
Em
with
a bagful of wine.
Bm - G
2. The night is alive, look
in the shadows,
Bm - G
because
now is the time, out in the shadows,
Em
to be somebody
else, a complete transformation
C
Em
from
the someone we are in the day.
Em D C
I hear a noise, there is
something going on,
Em D C
I hear a voice, there is
something going on !
C G A
I see the boys, there is
something going on,
C
B7
and
something is happening to me, yes !
Em G
I love the night, I love the night,
Am B7
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,
Em G
I love the night, I love the night,
Am B7
I love to dance with a stranger and feel her delight.
C
+ And when the dancing
is through, I kick off my shoes,
G B7
- Em
and
listen to the beating of my heart.
Bm - G
3. After
the fall, then came the hunger,
Bm - G
in
the hearts of us all, ooh, such a hunger,
Em
that begins after dark, hides in the heart
C Em
like
a wolf that is waiting inside.
Em D ´ C
I see a light, there is
something going on,
Em D C
it’s
getting bright, there is something going on. !

I look outside, there is
something going on,
C B7
and
someone is calling to me.

I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,

I love the night, I love the night,

+ And when the morning
begins, I have to get in,
G B7
before
sunlight can fall upon my face.
