Lyrics:
[Verse 1: Pharrell]
Like the legend of the phoenix
Our ends were beginnings
What keeps the planet spinning
The force from the beginning

[Hook: Pharrell]
We've come too far
To give up who we are
So let's raise the bar
And our cups to the stars
She's up all night 'til the sun
I'm up all night to get some
She's up all night for good fun
I'm up all night to get lucky
We're up all night 'til the sun
We're up all night to get some
We're up all night for good fun
We're up all night to get lucky (x5)

[Verse 2: Pharrell]
The present has no rhythm
Your gift keeps on giving
What is this I'm feeling?
If you want to leave, I'm with it

[Hook]

[Bridge: Daft Punk]
We're up all night to get
We're up all night to get
We're up all night to get lucky
(Making love today)
We're up all night to get lucky
