Are you one of mine
who can sleep with one eye open wide?
Agonizing psychotic
solitary hours to decide
Reaching for the light
at the slightest noise from the floor
Now your hands perspire
heart goes leaping at a knock from the door.
In the Dead of Night
In the Dead of Night
Rich and powerful ascend
complicated bends to be free
indulge in what they will
and jaded thrill or fantasy
Shuttered windows that belie
all stifled cries from within
And prying eyes are blind
to proceedings of the kind that begin
In the Dead of Night
In the Dead of Night.
Black clouds moving gray sky to thunder
Kinetic sunrise fever and blood
Fire and water element anger
Horizon melting to blood.
By The Light of Day
By The Light of Day.
Silent wheel advancing years
Power and agony growing fears
Love's a dream some pretend
Accelerates an early end.
By The Light of Day
By The Light of Day
Reprise
Don't tell me that
the wages of sin are for real
Writings on the wall
(What's) the score what's the deal?
Don't wonder we can't see
(thru) the wood for the trees
No perfume we design
can ever veil the sickness on the breeze.
By The Light of Day
In the Dead of Night.
Nevermore
The sight
Black Forest
Cool Moonlight.
Blue shadows
Reflect
In windows
In direct.
Oh to go
Down to Soho
There bold spirits don't sink so low.
Gold Amber
Of lights
Beer glasses
Misty nights.
Oh to go
Down to Soho
Black tie night out or hobo outright.
Singles bars
Cruising shark cars
Soho neon glow.
When day is dawning
You wipe the sleep
slowly from your eyes
And you remember
Soho's neon disguise
Eyes reflect in windows direct
Soho neon glow......
