Lyrics

Edgar Allan Poe had it in his telltale heart
It's the finest time to strike said Napoleon Bonaparte
Inmates make their break into it, cavemen make their art
Spy planes and spelunkers do it somewhere in the dark
Batman catches criminals in the dark of night
Saving Gotham City from evil designs
Darkness, lovers lovin' and dreamers tend to like
And if you think you're neither one
Well in the dark that's just what you might become
Some celestial bodies like to strut their stuff a lot
We know Mr. Black Hole is the big boy on the block
King Tut looked pretty comfy in that old dark tomb
What's good for an Egyptian mummy might be right for you
What's the fun relying on something you can see?
That's just so passé when you run toward the light
Why not make a dangerous tryst with mystery?
It's a downright frightening hole
Watch your head, down you go
Oh what's the fun relying on something you can see?
That's just so passé when you run toward the light
Oh why not make a dangerous tryst with mystery?
It's a downright frightening hole
Watch your head, down you go
Larry lost his inhibitions, Sally felt a spark
Jacob saw a mystic vision somewhere in the dark
Black cats he got a decent living, monsters make it far
You might find what you've been missing somewhere in the dark
