Nothing Like the Night

Someone's words tumbleweed Through the desert in your skull Above the blinds the ceiling's stained By the pasty light of dawn Once again the big black bird Came home to roost on this scarecrow A bell's ringing, time for church You can't get up, you can't make the door 'Cause you can't take it far enough Find a cure or taste the blood It's something like the night that lies that way But you can't break if you don't stop Too fast to crash, too high to drop There's just nothing like the night to take you there And take you down A stranger's face twisted in knots Pale and shiny like a doll's Looks back at you through the glass Of a crazed one way window With flaring eyes and grating jaws That don't know what they're hungry for Blue blades for veins to drain what's left Like dirty water from a tub You can't take it far enough Find a cure or taste the blood It's something like the night that lies that way But you can't break if you don't stop Too fast to crash, too high to drop There's just nothing like the night to take you there So here's to the brink One more time with feeling This cage of broken limbs If you wanna know it's yours, make it hurt If you wanna know it's yours, make it hurt
