Standin' in the dark

Outside the house

Breathin' in the cold

And sterile air

Well I was thinkin'

How it must feel To see that

Little light

And watch it

As it disappears

And fades into

And fades into the night So I know you're goin'

Pretty soon

Radiation sore throat

Got your tongue

Magic markers

Tattoo you And show it

Where to aim

And strangers

Break their promises

You won't feel any

You won't feel any pain And the streets are

Jammed with cars

Rockin' their horns

To race to the wire

Of the unfinished line Thought that I'd forget

All about the past

But it doesn't let me

Run too fast

And I just wanna

Stand outside And know that

This is right

And this is true

And I will not

Fade into

Fade into the night

I'm standin' here in the dark
