You're closing off for the night
And not a soul left inside
You've had a long hard day
Don't make it harder on yourself

Everybody needs some time, take some time just to get away
Baby, I could find some time, I got time
Everybody needs some time, take some time just to get away
Baby, I could find some time
I got time on my hands

After hours when the city's in bed
After hours, that's when I'm out of my head
I'm a live wire, it's when I'm at my best
After hours, after hours

Too many bills to pay (Ooh)
But all the loose cents can wait
You've had far worse days (Ooh)
So pour a drink, I'll do the same

After hours when the city's in bed
After hours, that's when I'm out of my head
I'm a live wire, it's when I'm at my best
After hours, after hours

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Everybody needs some time
Take some time just to get away (Ooh)
Baby, I could find some time
I got time on my hands

After hours when the city's in bed
After hours, that's when I'm out of my head
I'm a live wire, it's when I'm at my best
After hours, after hours
After hours when the city's in bed
After hours, that's when I'm out of my head
I'm a live wire, it's when I'm at my best
After hours, after hours
