Song title: Come on (Let's go tonight)


Come on (Let's go tonight) - Official 'The Promise' take

Put on your black dress baby, and put your hair up right
There's a party way down in Factory Town tonight
I'll be going down there if you need a ride
Come on, come on, let's go tonight

How many men fail, their dreams denied
They walk through these streets with death in their eyes
Now the man on the radio says "Elvis Presley died"
Come on, come on, let's go tonight

Well now some came to witness, now some came to weep
Drawn by death's strange glory, they stood in the street
Drawn together forever in the promise of an endless sleep
Come on, come on, let's go tonight
Baby, come on, come on, let's go tonight

Notes: These are the lyrics of the officially published version


Come on (Let's go tonight)

Hey little girl with the red dress on
There’s a party tonight down in ...
Yeah and I’m goin’ if you need a ride
Come on, come on, let’s go tonight

Well baby the dreamers ....
They ride down the streets with death in their eyes
And the new world’s defeat, baby, it eats your eyes
Come on, come on, let’s go tonight
I said come on, come on, let’s go tonight

Well a man ...
And he lost his wife
He walks down the streets babe, with death in his eyes
Well everybody wants heaven
But nobody wants to die
Come on, come on, let’s go tonight
Baby, come on, come on, let’s go tonight
I said come on, come on, let’s go tonight

Notes: Darkness out-take. A strange mix of Johnny bye bye - Album and Factory
