.the Children Of The Night Lyrics - Running On Air - Bliss N Eso

Bliss: 

When the sun's out, and the moonlight is in 

It blankets the land and a new life begins 

With headphones on, stargaze lying in a paddock 

Feel the veil of the night wrap its inner fabric 

Get the picture from the photo spinner's magic 

And let your view go slo-mo and cinematic 

Kids come far and wide to the urban sprawl 

All the way to day break when its curtain call 

They scurry in like sweet syncronicity 

Moving like music in a street city symphony 

When people sleep and the masses shut shutters 

Like clockwork, freestyle, after dark buskers 

Motor full of mates, late night escapades 

Stealth renegades, burners they set ablaze 

Paintings flourish all the way down the boulevard 

Block party, late, whole street full of cars 

Skaters illuminate the bowl with their headlights 

Hear the street riders roll when they rev bikes 

Night riders carve the mountain in the valley haze 

Covert op, talent sprays in the alleyways 

Kids in the palace of play, 

Cloaked in the dark night 

Summertime shooting hoops under the park lights 

Guerilla activists seeing freedom clear 

Across the globe sticking up BNE WAS HERE 

Chorus: 

In the evening, when the stars climb 

You can see them, Children of the night 

Through the seasons, on the dark side, 

In the deep end, Children of the night 

When the day's gone and it unwinds 

Let them play on till the sunrise 

Rise till we're all in flight, 

This is for my people who are - 

Children of the Night 

Eso: 

There's to many places to park down memory lane 

So let me simply start when I remembered the rain 

Hit the tin roof, while sitting on my balcony 

Isolated like a pirate cast out to sea 

Intrigued by what those city lights offer 

The world is your oyster type sh*t, 

And that's proper 

Hypnotised by it's highs and it's lows 

A lifestyle that keeps your eyes on the road 

See there's searchers on the prowl, 

For that crowbar access 

And graphers throwing up those whole car classics 

It's magic to watch the world trying to compete 

A tapestry of culture intertwined with the beast 

And that's right where I eat 

Where the night never sleeps 

And all I need's a mic and a beat for life in the streets 

Over years I've put strength in pain 

Standing strong, writing songs on an empty train 

Yeah, I've lived a life worth of movies framed through my crooked lens 

Ive travelled way beyond where the book will end 

I've seen the visual effects behind the scenes 

I've found a whole other world trying to find my dreams 

And temptation will test if you can keep your faith 

With the smile of a Cheshire cat to lead the way 

Under night lights, we'll never stop building 

So welcome to the City of the Lost Children 

Chorus: 

In the evening, when the stars climb 

You can see them, Children of the night 

Through the seasons, on the dark side, 

In the deep end, Children of the night 

When the day's gone and it unwinds 

Let them play on till the sunrise 

Rise till we're all in flight, 

This is for my people who are - 

Children of the Night 

Bliss: 

From the kids in the burbs, playing capture the flag 

To the cans packed in bags, 

Lads attack with their tags 

The core elements, forces of sick skills 

Back lane breakers in an orbit of windmills 

Writers hit the tracks in the yard 

Where the trains stay 

The beat spills and it trickles down the laneways 

The streets are bubbling, the beats are rumbling 

The free runners swing across an urban jungle gym 

Chorus: 

In the evening, when the stars climb 

You can see them, Children of the night 

Through the seasons, on the dark side, 

In the deep end, Children of the night 

When the day's gone and it unwinds 

Let them play on till the sunrise 

Rise till we're all in flight, 

This is for my people who are - 

Children of the Night
