[Kid Cudi:]
Day and night.
What, what?
I toss and turn, I keep stressing my mind, mind.
What, what?
I look for peace but see I don't attain.
What, what?
What I need for keeps this silly game we play, play.
Now look at this—what, what?—madness.
The magnet keeps attracting me, me.
What, what?
I try to run but see I'm not that fast.
What, what?
I think I'm first but surely finish last, last.

[Chorus:]
'Cause day and night
The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night
[Video version:] The lonely loner seems to free his mind at night
He's all alone through the day and night
The lonely loner seems to free his mind at night, at, at, at night.
Day and night
The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night
[Video version:] The lonely loner seems to free his mind at night
He's all alone, some things will never change, never change.
The lonely loner seems to free his mind at night, at, at, at night

[Kid Cudi:]
Hold the phone.
What, what?
The lonely stoner, Mr. Solo Dolo.
What, what?
He's on the move can't seem to shake the shade.
What, what?
Within his dreams he sees the life he made, made.
The pain is deep.
What, what?
A silent sleeper you won't hear a peep, peep.
What, what?
The girl he wants don't seem to want him too.
What, what?
It seems the feelings that she had are through, through

[Chorus]

[Kid Cudi:]
Slow mo.
What, what?
When the tempo slows up and creates that new, new.
What, what?
He seems alive though he is feeling blue.
What, what?
The sun is shining. Man, he's super cool, cool
The lonely nights.
What, what?
They fade away he slips into his white Nikes.
What, what?
He smokes a clip and then he's on the way.
What, what?
To free his mind in search of—
To free his mind in search of—
To free his mind in search of—

[Chorus]

At, at, at night
