Lyrics
Taking a ride to my old haunts
She's in my blood
I reside in my nightlife

My favor color's candy apple girl
And she resides in my mind of my nightlife

What's that I hear? You wanna go for a ride
Oh don't be afraid boy to come inside
I got the thing that you want, the fix that you need
Chase this with a little lust and greed

I'll be the devil on your should
Saying "Hey boy come over"
My black heart beats crimson and clover
So operator, operator patch my boy in
This is nightlife and I'll get under your skin

Taking a ride to my old haunts
She's in my blood
I reside in my nightlife

My favor color's candy apple girl
And she resides in my mind of my nightlife

Short of breath heart beats fast
Sounds like love but you know it won't last
Cheap champagne stain on a even cheaper suit
Hope there's more in your pants than a bus route

Red velvet walls line these sugar-coated walls
Girls hang on bar stools for late last calls
This town is full of snakes, mistakes, and whiskey shakes
It's too late I already cut the brakes

Well I am rolling, strolling into town
Is it me or am I going crazy
This dirty city is my sugar town
My little angel of death is my nightlife

Beter make a move before I get bored
If you wanna explore my vocal chord
Baby girl coco dancing the cooch
One hand on my knee one hand on the hooch

Why don't you stick around for one more round
This place is a circus and I know you'll be my clown
Cuz I'm the ring leader, I run the show
And only when I tell ya will it be time to go

Taking a ride to my old haunts
She's in my blood
I reside in my nightlife

My favor color's candy apple girl
And she resides in my mind of my nightlife

She is my nightlife
