[Verse 1] We clock in when you’re sleeping We don’t wear ties or shine No demons in the doorway Just tired hands and time We take the jobs you skip past The heavy, dirty parts We carry all your chaos And still keep open hearts [Pre-Chorus] You see us in the corner You barely know our name (People of the night) But every hidden little thing Still runs through us the same (People of the night) [Chorus] We are the people of the night (thats right) We make it right, we make it right We are the people of the night (people of the night) We hold the line till morning We hold the line till light (People of the night) We are the people of the night (thats right) (people of the night) [Verse 2] When the wild ones get too loud We stand right in the storm Some are bruised, some are burdened But their hands stay warm You grab your roll at daybreak Trash gone from the curb Roadies build the whole world up Before you hear a word [Pre-Chorus] And every laugh, and every fight (People of the night) And every hard-earned win It all gets sorted, lifted, moved By the ones working in [Chorus] We are the people of the night We make it right, we make it right We are the people of the night (thats right) (people of the night) We hold the line till morning We hold the line till light (People of the night) We are the people of the night (people of the night) [Bridge] Then the dark starts slipping out Like secrets from the seam A first ray cuts the puddles And paints them gold and green The whole street looks brand new Like it never knew our feet But every calm, clean morning Was built on what we keep [Verse 3 with Afro solo part] We are the people of the night Not ghosts in the dark We clock in when you clock out And we do our part No fancy suits, no ties Just steel in our hands While the whole town sleeps We make it stand [Pre-Chorus 2 Synti Drop] When the hard hours hit We are already there In the thick of it With a hard-won stare Crazy rooms, long roads We keep moving through Some carry the load And the load is you [Chorus] We are the people of the night We make it right, we make it right We are the people of the night (thats right) (people of the night) We hold the line till morning We hold the line till light (People of the night) We are the people of the night (people of the night) [Verse 4 Drop with Backround] You take your morning roll It’s warm in your palm Trash is already gone Like nothing went wrong Roadies set the stage By the curb and the door We had it all ready Before you asked for more They call us the unseen But we’re plain to see Life left its marks on us Still we do it gladly [Final Chorus] We are the people of the night We make it right, we make it right (All through the night) We are the people of the night (thats right) (people of the night) The morning takes the silence Carries all the aches in flight (All through the night) We are the people of the night (people of the night)
