Through The Night And Back Again

Mornings like this I feel like leaving

Though I'll have to hollow out my heart

I'm scraping out the insides of a pumpkin

Paint a twisted face and carve it out

Paint a twisted face and carve it out

Dress it up like someone else's nightmare

Candle flickering alive inside

And now I'll keep it scowlin' on the doorstep of my love

So others are afraid to go inside

So others are afraid to go inside

I've tried hard, oh darlin'

To keep the balance too

But it's not me, it's you

Who's kicking us back and forth like this

Cold nights like this I feel like stayin'

In the darkness and the comfort of my cave

There's somethin' there for every little daydream

A spark that flickers up and turns to flame

A spark that flickers up and turns to flame

If you wanna fight me there then fight me

We can walk ten paces then turn

But if you want me dead you'll just have to shoot me through

Cause I would rather die than see you in pain

I would rather die than see you in pain

I've tried hard, oh darlin'

To keep the balance too

But it's not me, it's you

Who's kicking us back and forth like this

Tripping up back and forth like this

Slipping up back and forth like this

Kicking us back and forth like this

With the pills

And the falls

And the thrills

Of seeing it all

Through the night

I'm back again

The pills

And the falls

And the kills

Of seeing it all

Through the night

I'm back again

Through the night

I'm back again

Mornings like this I feel like leaving

Though I'll have to pick apart my brain

Like a flock of crows upon a scarecrow

If he could raise his arms they'd fly away

If he could raise his voice they'd fly away

I've tried hard, oh darlin'

To keep the balance too

But it's not me, it's you

Who's kicking us back and forth like this

I've tried hard, oh darlin'

To keep the balance too

But it's not me, it's you

Who's kicking us back and forth like this

Tripping up back and forth like this

Slipping up back and forth like this

Kicking us back and forth like this

With the pills

And the falls

And the thrills

Of seeing it all

Through the night

I'm back again

The pills

And the falls

And the kills

Of seeing it all

Through the night

I'm back again

Through the night

I'm back again
