Nightclubbing Lyrics

[Intro]
It's much louder than before, man
Can you hear me?

[Verse 1]
Nightclubbing, nightclubbing
We're what's happening
Nightclubbing, nightclubbing
We're an ice machine
We see people, brand new people
They're something to see
We're nightclubbing, bright-white clubbing
Oh, isn't it wild?

[Verse 2]
Nightclubbing, nightclubbing
We're walking through town
Nightclubbing, nightclubbing
We walk like a ghost
We learn dances, brand new dances
Like the nuclear bomb
We're nightclubbing, bright-white clubbing
Oh, isn't it wild?

[Verse 1]
Nightclubbing, nightclubbing
We're what's happening
Nightclubbing, nightclubbing
We're an ice machine
We see people, brand new people
They're something to see
We're nightclubbing, bright-white clubbing
Oh, isn't it wild?
