[Intro] [Filtered electric guitar, distant city ambience, heartbeat-like kick] Yeah… No sleep tonight. Turn it up. Let’s go! [Verse 1] Black boots hitting the boulevard Cheap perfume and a stolen heart Red lights bleeding across my face I’m done with playing it safe Phone keeps lighting up in my jeans Same old ghosts on a cracked-up screen Got a head full of gasoline And a bad idea running through me [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been good for far too long Bit my tongue, played along Now the walls are closing in Count me out, I’m diving in [Chorus] Tonight, I’m outta control Got a wild fire burning in my soul Hands up high, let the whole world know I’m too far gone and I won’t go slow Oh-oh, let the midnight roll No brakes left on this runaway soul If I crash when the morning shows Tonight, tonight, I’m outta control [Post-Chorus] Outta control! Oh-oh, outta control! Outta control! Don’t stop, don’t stop! [Verse 2] Neon saints on the passenger side Bad decisions and a pretty lie Everybody wants a piece of me Nobody asks what I need to be Laugh too loud till I lose my voice Drown that doubt in a wall of noise For a second, I’m bulletproof Then the silence cuts straight through [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been good for far too long Wore that smile when everything was wrong Now the walls are closing in Count me out, I’m diving in [Chorus] Tonight, I’m outta control Got a wild fire burning in my soul Hands up high, let the whole world know I’m too far gone and I won’t go slow Oh-oh, let the midnight roll No brakes left on this runaway soul If I crash when the morning shows Tonight, tonight, I’m outta control [Bridge] [Drop to soft guitar, intimate vulnerable vocal] And when the sun comes up Will I know who I’ve become? Will the noise inside my head Still be screaming in my bed? I’ve been running from the truth Like there’s nothing left to lose But the dawn is coming fast And the night won’t always last [Build-Up] [Drums rise, distorted guitars swell, vocal grows urgent] So turn it up! Till I can’t hear my heartbeat Light me up! Till there’s nothing left beneath me One more night! Before the daylight takes its toll If I’m gonna feel alive Let me feel it all! [Final Chorus] [Full band explodes, layered vocals, soaring indie-rock guitars] Tonight, I’m outta control Got a wild fire burning in my soul Hands up high, let the whole world know I’m too far gone and I won’t go slow Oh-oh, let the midnight roll No brakes left on this runaway soul If I crash when the morning shows Tonight, tonight, I’m outta control! [Outro] [Gang vocals, crashing cymbals, guitars ringing out] Outta control! Oh-oh, outta control! No sleep, no sleep tonight! Tonight, I’m outta control! [Final guitar chord rings into feedback] [End]
