"Evening News" lyrics - CEELO GREEN

[Spoken: Sir Cognac, the Conversation]
And now, the night time...

[Verse 1: Cee-Lo]
Late in the evening
There is the thieving and the trickin and the trappin
And they ain't actin
We make it happen
We'll get the guns on anyones and get to clappin'
Even for rappin'
Does it surprise ya?
Well, readjust and reconcile and recognize up
That I'm a writer
Oh yes, I write up
Now open wide and let me put the night inside ya

[Verse 2: Cee-Lo]
This is music usually confused with major motion picture
No one is stricter about it being status for scripture
No put-on, your good is gone, you're wearing what don't fit you
You better run, little one, 'cause the rhythm's gonna get you
And when it hits you, it usually hits somebody with you
Make 'em risk a total eclipse of sun to get richer
Maybe a little time and something fine-that'll fix you
Well, she'll love you, but got to remember to miss you
The nightlife, the dark side of the city
Gon' be on 24 inches, and be defenseless
The nightlife, the dark side of my heart
Where no one really knows you, and no one's supposed to
The nightlife, the dark side of my soul
Where if somebody cross you, kill 'em up off you
The nightlife, the dark side of the moon
Where the sun is scared to come
Give me some (Ha!)

[Break: Cee-Lo]
Take me where the darkness is still beautiful!

[Chorus: Cee-Lo]
Oh-oh-oh, wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna go, wanna go
(Give me the night!)
The night is gonna get you, ahh, it's gonna get you
The night is gonna get you, ahh, it's gonna get you
(Give me the night!)
The night is gonna get you, ahh, it's gonna get you
The night is gonna get you, ahh, it's gonna get you
(Give me the night!)
The night is gonna get you, ahh, it's gonna get you
The night is gonna get you, hey, it's gonna get you
(Give me the night!)
The night is gonna get you, ahh, it's gonna get you
It's gonna get you!

[Verse 3: Chazzie]
I'll be your lady
Fairweather friend
I'll be honest
And I'll pretend
I'll act like I love you, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll act like I love you, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You gotta listen to me now

[Break: Cee-Lo]
Take me where the darkness is still beautiful

[Verse 3: Cee-Lo]
I've been runnin' since "Rock Box"
I've cocked Glocks and locked blocks
And rocked rocks and dropped tops
The obviously odd, five-foot six-inch god
In the flesh, I've been the best, I'll get in your chest and in the mess
In your vest and out your back without even getting out the 'Lac
I lied about how I really handled that situation about the AK
I'll hit back, if your lead was the only collateral you got, I'll get that
Now, get flat, say a prayer, 'cause shawty want this shit back
Sit back, this chitchat is pitch-black, but you can still see what I'm saying
And heavy is how I weigh in
Niggas love singing sad songs about how bad they want to stay in
Either a whole lotta basketball playing or make use of some yay' then

[Spoken: Sir Cognac, the Conversation & Cee-Lo]
Wooooo, ooh!
Lord, sure feel good to me
I promise...
I promise...
Not to ever, ever leave this night life alone
This me (Me too!)
Yup, this me (And me three)
Have mercy

[Break: Cee-Lo]
Take me where the darkness is still beautiful!

[Chorus: Cee-Lo]
Oh-oh-oh, wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna go, wanna go
(Give me the night!)
The night is gonna get you, ahh, it's gonna get you
The night is gonna get you, ahh, it's gonna get you
(Give me the night!)
The night is gonna get you, ahh, it's gonna get you
The night is gonna get you, ahh, it's gonna get you
(Give me the night!)
The night is gonna get you, ahh, it's gonna get you
The night is gonna get you, hey, it's gonna get you
(Give me the night!)
The night is gonna get you, ahh, it's gonna get you
It's gonna get you!
