The office lights are growing dim
The candles, they don't help
The only thing that passes through my grin
Is pain I've never felt

The street outside is deadly dark
If you listen you can hear
A million radiant thoughts
And people disappear

Now, that dark is light
Reason seems to lose its will to fight
These lonely blues I get in flight
So I'll drink myself to sleep another night

Right in on top of mystery
I looked into the fire
I'm just the son of some bad history
Can't get no higher, higher, no higher

I got one last chance to get it right
The connection is fading
You can bet your life I won't give up the fight
Because my sanity ain't worth trading, it ain't worth trading

Oh, when day is night
I always seem to lose,
The things I seem to choose that makes it right
So I'll close my eyes and sleep with all my might
So I'll close my eyes and sleep with all my might
And maybe when I wake it'll be all right
