I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa
But knowing I'm so eager to fight can't make letting me in any easier
I know I've been wearing crazy clothes and I look pretty crappy
sometimes
But my body feels so good and I still sing a razor line every time

And when it comes to all night living, I know what I'm giving
I've got it all down to a tee, and it's free

You better love me, all the time now
You better shove me back into line now
You better love me, all the time now
You better shove me back into line now.
