It all started about 20 past 4 in the afternoon
The sun was high in the sky and so was I
I had my speakers on and Toots was telling me that it is you
I invite my friends round to have a drink
And before too long we were dancing
As the sun set somewhere over in Collingwood
With a can in each hand we went out into the night
Into that ever-familiar Melbourne city lights
Don't you wish these nights go on forever
Now the clock strikes 10 past 10
It seems like a good a reasons as any do go and do some shots
But all we really wanted to do was to smoke some pot
So we made our way through the beer garden
Through the haze of conversation and tobacco smoke
To find ourselves underneath the tree
To smoke a little Sensi-Mi
And now onto the dancefloor looking for much much more
As Mike Skinner sings the line - Will we become heroes
Don't you wish these nights go on forever
Now it reaches that point in the night
Where it ain't no longer a point in the night
People have started dropping off like flies
The only ones left, they got too high, hey
So we walk out of the bar shielding our eyes
And avoiding the gaze of those who have started their day
We make our way far too tired to talk
So we spark up a joint to ease the thought of having to sleep
These moments get lost cos our memory's been a blur
Like a sense and feeling it will go on forever
These nights are not rare and that is not why we care
We are who we are and that is more than enough
Cos people around me make me feel alive
And I've got a feeling that I'll never die
Cos people around me make me feel alive
And I've got a feeling that I'll never die
Don't you wish these nights go on forever
Don't you wish these nights go on forever
