Chorus:
  Em
Taking a ride to my old haunt
      B                 Em
She's in my blood, I reside in my nightlife
My favorite color's candy apple, girl
And she resides in my mind of my nightlife

 Em
What's that I hear?
You wanna go for a ride?
Don't be afraid, boy, to come inside
            B
I got the thing that you want,
the fix that you need
  Em
Chase this with a little lust and greed
I'll be the devil on your shoulder saying
"Hey boy, come on"
For my black heart beats crimson and cloves
   B
So operator, operator patch my boy in
 Em
This is nightlife and I'll get under your skin

Chorus

Short of breath, heartbeat fast
Sounds like love but you know it won't last
Cheap champagne stain on an even cheaper suit
Hope there's more in your pants than a bus route
Red velvet halls line these sugar-coated walls
Girls hang on bar stools for late last calls
This town is full of snakes, mistakes,
and whiskey shakes
It's too late, I already cut the brakes

Am                            Em
Well, I am rolling, strolling into town
B            Em
Is it me, or am I going crazy?
This dirty city is my sugar town
My little angel of death is my nightlife

Em      B  Em
Come inside...
It’s just you...
       B  Em
Sugar town...

Gonna make a move before I get bored
If you wanna explore my vocal chord
Baby girl coco dancing the cooch
One hand on my knee, one hand on the hooch
Why don't you stick around for one more round?
This place is a circus and I know you'll be my clown
'Cause I'm a ringleader, I run the show
And only when I tell ya it will be time to go

Chorus:
Taking a ride to my old haunts
She's in my blood, I reside in my nightlife
My favorite color's candy apple, girl
And she resides in my mind of my nightlife
[Outro: Billie Joe Armstrong & Lady Cobra]
(Hey, boy) She is my nightlife
(Hey, boy) She is my nightlife
(Hey, boy) She is my nightlife
(See you later) She is my nightlife
