Wasted Sleepless Nights / Dark Room

(One, two, three, four)

Knocking at the window, standin' in the rain

Ulysses smiles as he takes his pills

The street walker knows his middle name

She understands why he's dressed up to kill

Poor little rich boy born to the thin woman

The papers said he'd never be deprived

The dust shifted in and out of time

He lost his grip on his privileged life

Now he's got children and a fat lady

Who watch over him, he watches them

The house is brimmin' over with inside information

If learning is a crime, it's looking grim

I've got my hands in the water, dippin' in the dirty

There might be a witness, I better keep out of sight

They've got their feet in the doorway, trying not to hurt me

This'll be the end of wasted sleepless nights

Wasted sleepless nights

Somewhere in the dark room there's a sign on the door

That says, "Help for those who've got the urge to stray"

They've got boudoirs and operating theaters

And microphone apostles who've got nothing to say

Now the finger's movin' in for the kill

Save up your breath, slow down your death

Don't you know they weren't around when the loving angel said

"Don't seek the living out here with the dead"

I've got my hands in the water, dippin' in the dirty

There might be a witness, I better keep out of sight

They've got their feet in the doorway, trying not to hurt me

This'll be the end of wasted sleepless nights

I've got my hands in the water, dippin' in the dirty

There might be a witness, I better keep out of sight

They've got their feet in the doorway, trying not to hurt me

This'll be the end of wasted sleepless nights

Wasted sleepless nights

Oh, those wasted sleepless nights

Staring voices from the dark room

Staring voices from the dark room

They are the wind that blows forever around the sun

They are the beating of the city drum

And if you could see me now

You'd burn a fifty dollar bill

Take Valium and arithmetic

Take a calculated thrill

Staring voices from the dark room (Wasted sleepless nights)

Staring voices from the dark room (It's the sleepless nights)

Staring voices from the dark room (Wasted sleepless nights)

Staring voices from the dark room (Wasted sleepless nights)

Staring voices from the dark room (Wasted sleepless nights)

Staring voices from the dark room (Wasted sleepless nights)

Staring voices from the dark room

Staring voices
