Lyrics
Make your bed up high, pray into the sky,
Close the window, close the door, makes no difference if you’re rich or poor.

Get on your knees, scream please, that man just love to tease,
Try to run, get a gun, he just laugh it make it more fun,

CHORUS
And it makes no difference if you’re yellow or you’re red,
When that bad man say tonight is the night, you are dead,
And it makes no difference if you’re black or white,
When Tokoloshe say tonight is the night, it’s tonight.

Hard like rock ain’t got no soul, he can make the sun feel cold,
Put an eclipse on the moon, make a little cloud forty day monsoon.

Don’t recognize no hawk, don’t recognize no dove,
Bad Tokoloshe man, he don’t even recognize love.

CHORUS

Only thing I can say to you is you gotta be good an’ you gotta be true,
Think about Jesus Christ, think about Jesus Christ.

CHORUS

CODA
Tonight is the night, it’s tonight.
Tonight is the night, it’s tonight
