Sparks

Sparks is an American rock and pop band formed in Los Angeles in 1971 by brothers Ron (keyboards) and Russell Mael (vocals), renamed from Halfnelson. Best known for their quirky approach to songwriting, Sparks' music is often accompanied by intelligent, sophisticated, and acerbic lyrics, and an idiosyncratic, theatrical stage presence, typified in the contrast between Russell's wide-eyed hyperactive frontman antics and Ron's sedentary scowling. They are also noted for Russell Mael's falsetto voice and Ron Mael's keyboard style.

It's a sleepy sort of night, the last thing that I want is sleep
It's a peaceful sort of night, the last thing that I want is peace

I throw caution to the wind and it comes flying back at me
It's the calm before the storm and something's going to clobber me

Put your ear down to the ground, can't you hear those stomping feet
And the swishing of those gowns, the laughing and the 4/4 beat

It takes a special kind of thrill to stand out in this day and age
Everybody looks so good and everyone is good in bed

The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a dream for you and for me
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a scream for you and for me

I've got a Sam and Dave Revue playing in my heart tonight
I've got a pebble in my shoe and even that feels good tonight

All those Big Mac wrappers dancing down the street dance better than I do
But you can't fight City Hall no matter what you say or do

The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a dream for you and for me
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a scream for you and for me

It's a sleepy sort of night
It's a peaceful sort of night

The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a dream for you and for me
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a scream for you and for me

The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a dream for you and for me
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a scream for you and for me

It's your patriotic duty to look as good as you can
It's your patriotic duty to dance with me

The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a dream for you and for me
The armies of the night are coming, they're coming
Life will be a scream for you and for me
