When the Night Comes

The sun has ascended, so pure and resplendent The only true star of a mediocre play Unsubtle, incessant, enduring, persistent The sound of alarms turning sleepers awake Consorting, commuting, cavorting, computing A metronome beating the boredom of life Abruptly disputing my summerly duty Of laying in bed till the heat slowly dies Bang quiver bang Follows me round as I crawl out of bed Bang quiver bang Shaking the ceiling it's making it crack Bang quiver bang Workmen are shovelling into my head Bang quiver bang I'm only alive for the time that I spend When the night comes And my cold mask is cleared When the night comes And my senses appear When the night comes And I suddenly feel I'm alive The evening crippled by neon inscriptions Light, I beg you to fade away Twilight descends and my sanctuary beckons Lead me back to sanity Fed by the gleam of an AMOLED screen I just soak up the night like a lizard the sun This pleasing sensation please be my damnation A slave to the moonlight I've slowly become Bang shiver bang At unison darkness and I resonate Bang shiver bang A couple of lovers entangled by thread Bang shiver bang Unholy the lust for each other we've felt Bang shiver, bang shiver bang I'm only alive for the pleasures I'm dealt When the night comes And my cold mask is cleared When the night comes And my senses appear When the night comes And I suddenly feel I'm alive My, partner in crime My associate Forever mine When the night comes And my cold mask is cleared When the night comes And my senses appear When the night comes And I suddenly feel I'm alive Yeah, yeah, yes I'm alive And I don't know any secrets I just want to sit here with you Headlights on monstrous machines Cut through the black city streets Sirens awaken the beasts The joys within me
