[Verse 1] The last tram disappears in rain, neon shines across the lane. Windows flicker, then go dark, strangers leave without a mark. The bars are closing one by one, the tired streets forget the sun. Nobody asks where you have been, nobody cares who you have been. [Pre-Chorus] And all the noise falls out of sight. The city changes after midnight. [Chorus] **MINUIT, MINUIT, WHEN THE CITY CLOSES ITS EYES.** **MINUIT, MINUIT, WE DON'T NEED OUR LITTLE LIES.** No more talking, no pretending, nothing starts and nothing ends. **MINUIT, MINUIT, LET THE NIGHT BEGIN AGAIN.** [Verse 2] A taxi waits beside the square, two empty seats and nobody there. A woman laughs beneath the rain, a lonely man boards the last train. We pass each other, face to face, then disappear without a trace. [Bridge] At twelve-oh-five, the lights turn low. At twelve-oh-six, we let things go. For one short hour, we're no one's name— just passing shadows in the rain. [Final Chorus] **MINUIT, MINUIT, WHEN THE CITY CLOSES ITS EYES.** **MINUIT, MINUIT, WE DON'T NEED OUR LITTLE LIES.** Let the rain fall, let it surround us— **MINUIT, MINUIT, NOTHING ELSE CAN FIND US.** [Outro — whisper] Minuit… Until the morning. Let the rain fall, let it surround us MINUIT, MINUIT, NOTHING ELSE CAN FIND US. Until the morning. [outro] **MINUIT, MINUIT, WHEN THE CITY CLOSES ITS EYES.** **MINUIT, MINUIT, WE DON'T NEED OUR LITTLE LIES.**
