[Verse 1]
I spent all the money I owe
I’ve got nothing to show for it
I made a black hole inside a black hole
I slept not a minute, oh no
I’m bleeding from my soul again
Is this the end before the end, yeah man

[Bridge]
Of me, and my reality, yeah
I’m screaming at the past, but it’s laughing at me, yeah

[Hook]
So give me back the night
Give me back the night
Give me back, give me back, give me back the night

[Verse 2]
I’m not making any new friends (oh no)
I’m all alone again (oh yeah)
I play pretend inside my head
I watched my idols come and go
Each one they died for rock and roll
So here I go on down that road

[Bridge]
Of me and my insanity
I’m screaming at the past, but it’s laughing at me, yeah ha ha
[Hook]
So give me back the night
Give me back the night
Give me back, give me back, give me back the night
I wanna make it right
So give me back my life
Give me back, give me back, give me back the night

[Verse 3]
Yeah
I’m singing in the hall of shame
I’m living in the house of pain
(Put on your shit-kickers and kick shit
Put on your shit-kickers and kick shit)
I’m singing in the hall of shame
I’m living in the house of pain
(Put on your shit-kickers and kick shit
Put on your shit-kickers and kick shit)

[Bridge]
It’s just me and my reality, yeah
I’m screamin’ at the past but it's la la la la la la la la

[Outro]
So give me back the night (give me back Tom Petty)
Give me back the night (give me back David Bowie)
Give me back
Give me back (give me back Gandhi)
Give me back the night (give me back Freddie Mercury)
I wanna make it right (give me back)
So give me back my life (give me back Moses)
Give me back (give me back Biggie)
Give me back (help express my life)
Give me back the night (louder, tell 'em)
