Her dress's filigree, She tells me all her secrets then I'm back on the street.

Oh, whoooaaaooh

It's hard, oh it's hard to help yourself when you don't know where to begin.

It's the devil, it's the boil, it's the black of night in your head, in your head.
D C D
Do you see the fire, heavy lit before this time? Know you the color of the end of, the end of,
the end.

Silence is dancing to beating drum. Money is nothing but a loaded gun.

And it's hard, oh it's hard to help yourself when you don't know where to begin.

In dark, in dark, oh, whoa, whoa
Em A
In the dark, light a candle in the dark, in dark, in dark, in dark... (Fade...)
