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
