A Walk In The Dark
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm takin' all your little toys away
You don't have any say so in your future
The pretty colors and the shiny lights
Do we just chase whatever we desire?
Oh silent night
Oh holy night
Sometimes you see me
Sometimes you don't
You'll get to know me better
(After a walk in the dark)
The monster in the mirror
(We'll take a walk in the dark)
Woah ? take a walk in the dark
Woah ? take a walk in the dark
I'm not afraid to close my eyes at night
I'm not aftraid of what my dreams will show me
I saw a fish that had a human head
I saw some things that I would like to show you:
The broken glass
This car's on fire
Open the cages
And set them free
Mine eyes have seen the glory
(I took a walk in the dark)
It ain't no bedtime story
(We'll take a walk in the dark)
Woah ? take a walk in the dark
Woah ? take a walk in the dark
Oooh
Who will help ya' now?
Surrender,
My love
Burn baby burn
Let it all come down
Jesus, Mary and the Holy Ghost
Took one look and said, "Hey, we're lost!"
"How the hell do we get outa here?"
They shit their pants, they got so scared
No matter who you are
(Ya need a walk in the dark)
The sweetest thing I ever saw
(I took a walk in the dark)
(Woah...I took a walk in the dark)
