'Tis a dark and stormy night And it will still be When the sun rises tomorrow Borrowing the sky from the clouds Everybody draws the shrouds Shrinks and shrifts, shifty splits Down the main drag to their hearts Hey, those are my parts! Give them back - I didn't say They could come live with you. Why can't you scream it proud Bang it loud, be outside the crowd To whom you pledge allegiance In the agreement to shut up That no one ever mentions. It IS a dark and stormy night Will you notice yet that the wind is blowing? Showing just what you need to live C'mon, give Give it up, don't be so tough What's really rough is when You get real; really squeal And maybe, care to heal, if you're lucky Lucky enough to have a spark Not fueled by the stinging fires of the gap Your endless trap Awaiting you with jaws agape While you sit and wait Sit and wait Sit and wait For "them" to fix it for you Dark and stormy night Notice that you don't notice What the weather is doing Inside; Which is not a good place to hide Not anymore. Cuz anyone who really knows the score - And there's so damn precious few of us Who'd rather not discuss The rain or the wind or the cold See, we're all blowing bold On the flames of the warm fire She brings. Trusts us to take it all home Tear by tear Maybe we will form rings Of wild things Who sing Of those with bad intent, and good To bring this Earth out of a dark and stormy night Into endless light To each in perfect measure There...there's a treasure to behold Bring all the blessed ones In from the cold By being dark and stormy Stark; show me The way to go home I'm tired and I want to wake up Make up our beds, our heads So we can have refuge From the everlasting deluge From the dark and stormy night. copyright 1997-2002 Panjoyah |
