Watching her, strolling in the night So wild, wondering why It's only after dark In her eyes, a distant firelight Burns bright, wondering why It's only after dark I find myself in her room Feel the fever of my doom Falling, falling through the floor I'm knocking on the jail's door In the dark, I wake up to find Her gone, and then all Says only after dark Burning, burning in the flame Now I know her secret name You can tear her up, top and down But she'll be back, I'll rule again, yeah In my heart, a deep and dark and lonely part Wants her, and waits for after dark After dark, after dark, after dark
