Lyrics:
Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walkin'
Down the street of my soul
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me livin' only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control
Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of a dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me livin' only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never knows
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of a dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
I'm living in the forest of a dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
It's my world
City light painted girl
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control

For those of you who dont understand the video, basically the girl is in love with a man who only comes at night to have physical relations with her and then goes away. She knows that he is only using her but she is powerless against him and wishes that the night will never end. The party scene is where she is enjoying her life but a glance of the man captivates her and she looses herself to go after him. The naked people represent a physical relation between the two. At the end of the video we can see that she is sad when the morning comes and the man will now go away. at last we see that the sleeping man is the masked man.

I remember dancing to this at the time, in the 1980s, and yes, it's a classic.

[@austins.2495]

No one talking about how insane this music video is…

[@louise_rose]

The sequence where she is moving down a half-lit hall and numerous "ghost arms" are trying to catch her, that's a rip-off from a famous nightmare scene in the Roman Polanski -directed film Repulsion (mid-1960s), with French movie icon Catherine Deneuve. Also lifted to the video for Ultravox' "The Thin Wall" a few years earlier. 1980s pop videos often borrowed stuff from earlier cinema films like this.
