I should be fast asleep but I'm still up
Sometimes cool and full of soul
I'm not sure I'll see tomorrow's sun

Cruel and corrupt, please make it stop
Never thought I would dream of LaVey
And the shit won't go away
And the globe of ascent turned to suet
New night came rolling in

I should be fast asleep but I'm still up
And the moon is the sun's other side
I'm in bed as the light got so dim
Nowhere to run, I know it has begun
A new night came rolling in
Sometimes crude and grim and foul

And never see the light of day
I'm not sure I'll see tomorrow's sun
The day is warm, the night is cold

I should be fast asleep but I'm still up
Nowhere to run, I know it has begun
Sometimes long and wonderful
And we make love in the dark

Nowhere to run, I know it has begun
And we make love in the dark
Every minute a lost life, a year in hell
I ride the mare to hell and back
When you come I greet you, we are the same
Yes, the day is the czar of the night
To survive, I need you and you need me

Lost in the dark
So the night is the scar of the day
You can hide, I see you, the night's alive, I know
Cruel and corrupt, please make it stop

Cruel and corrupt, please make it stop
You can hide, I see you, the night's alive, I know
Lost in the dark, I'm lost in the dark
To survive, I need you and you need me
The shit won't go away
When you come I greet you, we are the same

In this madness I sweat and burn
Lost in the dark, I'm lost in the dark

I'm not sure I'll see tomorrow's sun
Then the dawn reeked of swine like a slut
Every night I'm sleepless, every hour a spell
