Jonathan Richman – At Night

Jonathan Richman – At Night Lyrics

Artist: Jonathan Richman
Song: At Night

She sleeps at night and she wakes at seven
I take a nap around ten or eleven
And before midnight I take a little rest
So I’ll be lookin’ sharp when ideas come best

At night, at night, at night
That’s when I get my bright ideas
Well, the stars they shine and the streetlights they grin
And I invent the world again

When the radio waves carry shore to shore
Well, I invent the world once more
At night, at night, at night
That’s when I get my bright ideas

Let’s go, let’s go
Ah oh, bomp an a bomp an a what dey wo
Ah oh, bomp an a bomp an a what dey wo
When the sun does not but the streetlights be

The other world appears to me
At night, at night, at night
That’s when I get my bright ideas
Well, the fog comes in and it’s a swirlin’ haze

You know when the sea and the sky mix their separate ways
I stand on the rocks and I, uh, stare at the sea and I see
Jumpin’, bumpin’, electric-o-ty
At night, at night, at night

That’s when I get my bright ideas
Well, the stars they go with you while you walk
And late at night you can hear ’em talk
When the daylight ain’t but the planets are

The door to the arcane is thrust ajar
At night, at night, at night
That’s when I get my bright ideas
Let’s go, let’s go

Ah oh, bomp an a bomp an a what dey wo
Ah oh, bomp an a bomp an a what dey wo
When the moon is high over Lower Falls
When the Cafe Pompeii is wall to wall

At night, at night, at night
That’s when I get my bright ideas
Well, sometimes I leave a light on, I admit it
So I won’t miss what might be happenin’, any minute

At night, at night, at night
That’s when I get my bright ideas
One more thing
Well, sometimes I leave a light on, way down low so my

Friends will know that I’m ready to go
At night, at night, at night
That’s when I get my bright ideas
