You come home very late at night
Into a world that's black
Step through your iron door
And carefully watch your back
You shuffle around, you shuffle around
'Til you find that vacant room
Somebody better show you the way
Or you'll wind up in cement shoes
Don't ask me any questions
Don't leave me far behind
Just drop some hints on where to go
Leave all the lights on
Let it shine right through your heart
Leave all the lights on
'Cause baby I'm afraid on the dark
You don't know what it does to me
When you walk outside alone
Four long flights you go down
And you run until you get home
I shiver and I shake, I shiver and I shake
When I think about you out there
Somebody better calm me down
Or find me an electric chair
A clean slate is what I have and I'd
Like to keep it that way
But when trouble comes next to me
You know baby I'm not to blame |
