Because the Night Lyrics by Garbage, Screaming Females

No Gods No Masters

2013

[Verse 1: Shirley Manson]
Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is a hunger it’s the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed

[Pre-Chorus: Marissa Paternoster & Shirley Manson]
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand come undercover
They can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now

[Chorus: Shirley Manson & Marissa Paternoster]
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

[Verse 2: Marissa Paternoster]
Have I doubt when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes

[Pre-Chorus: Shirley Manson & Marissa Paternoster]
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't touch you now
Can't touch you now, can't hurt you now

[Chorus: Shirley Manson & Marissa Paternoster]
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

[Bridge: Shirley Manson & Marissa Paternoster]
With love we sleep
With doubt this vicious circle turns and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive the yearning burning
I believe it's time
Too real to feel
So touch me now
Touch me now
Touch me now

[Chorus: Shirley Manson & Marissa Paternoster]
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
