Afterdark

I wanted to help you,

escape from the day

I couldn't speak to you,

it might hurt my racer's heart

I couldn't speak to you,

for what could I say?

These words seem obscene now,

in the light to the racer's heart

[Chorus]

Well the words aren't coming,

no the words aren't coming

By day they are far too stark

Well the words mean nothing 'till they're turned to fire, by who we become after dark

You know we have nothing by silence of day

I couldn't speak to you

I have nothing to say to you

[Chorus]

Well the words aren't coming,

no the words aren't coming

By day they are far too stark

Well the words mean nothing 'till they're turned to fire, by who we become after dark

Well the words aren't coming,

no the words aren't coming

By day they are far too stark

Well the words mean nothing, but there's no questioning

just who we become after dark

You know, you know we've got no reason to speak

Come the sun, when it's done

We've no reason to speak

[Chorus]

Well the words aren't coming,

no the words aren't coming

By day they are far too stark

Well the words mean nothing 'till they're turned to fire, by who we become oh'

Well the words aren't coming,

no the words aren't coming

By day they are far too stark

Well the words mean nothing, but there's no questioning

just who we become after dark
