If you could spin on an cloud lookin' down at the ground
When the moon is high and the sun is gone down
You can see all the people in the cities and the towns building night fires

A man takes a mind in the middle of the night
To take a woman in his arms and to hold her tight
And he gets so high the flames start to fly

Night fires, flames are getting higher
Night fires, burning with desire
We're gonna make the whole world
Shine a little brighter buildin' night fires

Night fires, flames are getting higher
Night fires, burning with desire
Don't it make the whole world shine a little brighter
Buildin' night fires

If you leave love alone
Though it's gonna get cold
There ain't now fuel and the fire gets low
So tonight you and I are gonna
Shovel more coal on the night fire

Let's turn up the heat
And turn down the lights
Gonna build us a ragin' fire tonight
And when love gets right
Our souls ignite into night fires
