Up Late Songtext
von Custom Kings

Slow study these books
And take one long look
Read page after page
I took the left stage
Never taking the time to age
How that sound?
I float like a butterfly
Never touch the ground
Wearing caps and big crazy hats
They all stare in my company
They want a piece of me
I′m the little man that fronts the big band
Providing big beats for the kids
They're looking for the wrong man

We know this egocentric city′s gonna break down
And if the girl's too pretty it's a shake down
She′s got a smile so sweet
Feet don′t fail me now


Sweetheart gonna stay up late tonight
All night long if I'm gonna get it right
Sweetheart gonna stay up late tonight
All night long if I′m gonna get it right

We recollect the sec that we stepped from our daddy's pad
Made the most with the clothes that we had
It′s so hard for barkeepers to keep the bars together
Tell me you little lunatics could ever do it better
Play another cussing king thing and I'll step
Just like the Rodney, I get no respect
I′m begging you to take me where nobody stares
Nobody look at me and nobody cares now

We know this egocentric city's gonna break down
And if the girl's too pretty it′s a shake down
She′s got a smile too sweet
Feet don't fail me now


Sweetheart gonna stay up late tonight
All night long if I′m gonna get it right
Sweetheart gonna stay up late tonight
All night long if I'm gonna get it right
Sweetheart gonna stay up late tonight
All night long if I′m gonna get it right
Sweetheart gonna stay up late tonight
All night long if I'm gonna get it right

Up late tonight
I got it right here in my hands
It′s the key to my plans, you see
I know the clock said quarter to three
But I can't go to sleep 'til I got what I need
Come on

Sweetheart gonna stay up late tonight
All night long if I′m gonna get it right
Sweetheart gonna stay up late tonight
All night long if I′m gonna get it right
Sweetheart gonna stay up late tonight
All night long if I'm gonna get it right
Sweetheart gonna stay up late tonight
All night long if I′m gonna get it right
