Child of the Night Lyrics by Lucas Secon

To Rap My World Around You

1991

[Verse 1]
3:49 am is wise as it taps me on the shoulder
And leads me away to food and lies and a body
And before I even know of it, I bump into 7:3 am
But what if New York started at 7 am sharp?
Ooh, I'd be in trouble
Wouldn’t I like to wake up in the arms of the sun
And watch it climb up the ladder of the day
What would I see if I was the son of the sun peeping over the rooftops
How would I feel if I saw the happy concrete carpeting the city-
Streets tread on by the unhappy shadows?
Damn I'd be bored, I'd seen it all before cut
The sun now closes its eyes
And climbs into bed bеside me
Moments latеr the clouds and the rain tip-toe past my room
And laugh out sounds that cover and soak the city
Now the day looks gray but hey
I fall asleep in the arms of the sun because:
I’m the child, I'm the child, I'm the child of the night
I'm the child, I'm the child, I'm the child of the night
[Verse 2]
The rhythm of the moon puts the night in 5th gear, 5th fear
I see the silent strangers passing through me on the run
Their eyes calling 9-1-1-1-1 a-am, the mayhem of the night is me
Called the child of the night right where I belong
Singing my song, the vibrations running through the tunnels
Of the stations of me playing my horn the child of the night is me
Now I'm born, by the time the sun had shown up
My small dreams had blown up, by morn I had grown up--riiiing
The alarm-clock goes off, 3:49 am taps me on the shoulder
I open my eyes, Lucas is wise, not I know that the sun gives birth
To the moon and the moon gives birth to the night
'Cause I’m the child of the night
I’m the child, I'm the child, I’m the child of the night
I'm the child, I'm the child, I'm the child of the night
