Sleep 'til two in the afternoon
So I won't find that it works for you
Sun goes down and I'm out to play
And stay with me so I don't decay

By the moon
By the moon
By the moon

I black my eyes and I black my hair
So girls and boys will both stop and stare

By the moon
By the moon
By the moon

Nocturnal, keep me going all night
Nocturnal, my eternal right
Nocturnal, keep me going all night
Nocturnal, oh!

Nocturnal, keep me going all night
Nocturnal, my eternal right
Nocturnal, keep me going all night
Nocturnal, oh!

I'm not goth and I ain't current
Oh I am glad that there's an old school funk
You wanna put me into your box
After rocking first check the clock

Nocturnal, keep me going all night
Nocturnal, my eternal right
Nocturnal, keep me going all night
Nocturnal, oh!

Nocturnal, keep me going all night
Nocturnal, my eternal right
Nocturnal, keep me going all night
Nocturnal, oh!

By the moon
Nocturnal
By the moon
Nocturnal
By the moon
Nocturnal, oh!
