Nights in Venice Lyrics by The Saints

Prehistoric Sounds

1977

It's so black as I crash into the back room
I feel so sick, honey, listen to the girls moan
My eyes they water and my knees is a-weak
And I fall down every time that she speaks
Oh no
Shine on, shine my little star
That's another world, honey, that you are
Shine at night, don't gimme no love
Hit me like a death-ray baby, from above
Come on!
Speedin' down the highway, you got no time to waste
Your brain all used up just like the human race
Head spinnin' around from the 39th highball
And your sultan owns a queen who ain't nothin' but a screwball
Oh no
Shine on, shine my little star
That's another world, honey, that you are
Shine at night, don't gimme no love
Hit me like a death-ray baby, from above
Wow
24 hours till the end of the show, boy
If you're lookin' for love that don't give you much time, boy
If your baby's by your side you're gonna see her cry, boy
And when you look into them eyes it just don't bring you no joy
Oh no!
Shine on, shine my little star
That's another world, honey, that you are
Shine at night, don't gimme no love
Hit me like a death-ray baby, from above
Wow!
Come on!
I said take it
Well, lay it down
Listen
[Unknown verse]
It's comin' down
I said, It keep comin' down
Need you to calm down
Want you to calm down
Yeah, come on
Sink it
A bit out of time
Yeah, shake it
Out of time
Won't you take it
For a ride
Then you can shake it
Out of time
Won't you take me
For a ride?
Shake it down
Shake it
Little baby, shake it
Little baby, shake it
Take it down
Are you there?
Down to the ground
Take me down
Down on ground
[Unknown]
Yeah, drunk
Yeahhh
Ah, come on, come
I gotta catch a ride
Where the girls don't come
I wanna take your hand
Go across the sand
Where the girls don't come
A girl want to run
Gotta have some
I gotta, gotta get some
Ahh, come on
I said, A-c-c-come on
I can't stand no more
East side, west side, it all looks the same now
You don't need nobody but you don't care nohow
You don't need no love but you don't need no hate
But you were screamin' so loud when it was much too late
Oh no!
Shine on, shine my little star
That's another world, honey, that you are
Shine at night, don't gimme no love
Hit me like a death-ray baby, from above
Wow!
Come on, baby
Make it back
Come on, woman
Get it back
