                            at nervous time
                           we roll downtown
                        we've got scenes to crash
                       we're gonna trick and trash
                        we're gonna find some fun
                           we hit the streets 
                            with visors down
                          with our thermasuits
                            sealed up tight
                         we can beat the freeze
                          and get saved tonight
                       let's stop at the metropolex
                    that little dancer's got some style
                   yes she's the one i'll be waiting for
                            at the stage door.

             (chorus)           snowbound
                           let's sleep in today
                                wake me up
                       when the wolves come out to play 
                                 heat up 
                            these white nights 
               we're gonna turn this town into a city of lights 

                             we take the tube
                              to club hi ho 
                            it's about deadspace
                             it's a marketplace
                            and a party house too
                               something new
                             from charlie tokyo
                           it's a kind of pyramid
                             with a human heart
                           beating in an ion grid 
                             a critic grabs us
                          and says without a smile
                        the work seduces us with light
                         eviva laughs and we step out
                          into the blue-white night

             (chorus)           snowbound
                           let's sleep in today
                                wake me up
                       when the wolves come out to play 
                                 heat up 
                            these white nights 
               we're gonna turn this town into a city of lights 

                     we sail our icecats on the frozen river
                      some loser fires off a flare, amen
                    for seven seconds it's like christmas day
                       and then it's dark again
                       and then it's dark again

             (chorus)           snowbound
                           let's sleep in today
                                wake me up
                       when the wolves come out to play 
                                 heat up 
                            these white nights 
               we're gonna turn this town into a city of lights ***
