I could never thank the night enough I could never thank the dark enough for saving me Shambling through the night, my arms outstretched Guided by her somber song, this humbled availed wretch Her graceless grace Her hideous face Against mine Wandering through her streets so aimlessly I feel her hand in mine and the hurt dissipates painlessly When I'm in her arms I'm burdenless Jet black sunless strands of windswept blissful nothingness Her graceless grace Her hideous face Against mine Unstuck in time Her will not mine Her flowers in full bloom The peaks and troughs The nasty cough The ever loving gloom

Waking slowly from the BTL Hands are shaking - I don't feel so well My body's bombed and shelled Crack the shades so I can look outside Routine patrols so I'll stay in and hide I wonder if I've died A woman's crying in the upstairs halls Paint is slowly curling off the walls Looks like I missed some calls Oh, I want to eat, but I just need to sleep How long's she been gone? I just want to weep All my friends are dead - how I miss my dudes Having a hard time with these replicant blues Drinking lunch to try and kill the day Time has passed, but it don't feel that way My pallor's turning gray Wave connection's still on the fritz A monster moves to Puttin' On The Ritz Smog indicator's lit A kid is coughing in the upstairs halls Paint is slowly crawling off the walls Looks like I missed some calls Oh, I want to eat, but I just need to sleep How long's she been gone? I just want to weep All my friends are dead - how I miss my dudes Having a hard time with these replicant blues

Oh, it comes in waves But it's okay It's made that way Oh, it came today It came in waves But it's okay Call me paranoid But there's a pattern Developing here

Sometimes I get terrified - take walks in leaves as they fall But lately I've been more scared I'm feeling nothing at all I've got a man in a bloody shirt wandering my upstairs halls I'm looking for a door and seeing nothing but walls Been wrecking my hands trying to punch a hole In this family curse that's trying to swallow me whole I'd make a pact with a demon... I'd gladly sell my soul But there's something inside me that I'll never control They say shorten your skirt - I say "man, there's no way" There's something inside me that wants to put me away I stare off in a daze and feel my full moon wane Been wrecking my hands trying to break through to you Been trying my best to tell illusion from truth Been waking up in a sweat thinking I'm still next to you Now I can't get back to sleep my heart's an aching tooth Been living for years on self loathing and doubt My stomach's empty and growling though I'm stuffing my mouth My heart's a cemetery - my mind's a haunted house My way is a secret that I'll never find out They say shorten your skirt - I say "man, there's no way" There's something inside me that wants to throw me away I stare off in a daze and feel my full moon wane

Darlin, I’m so sad that we parted Lately, my heart’s filled with such shame I know I made it hard for your heart to feel full I know you were craving for a lover who’s whole The nights we spent were warm, I was so satisfied Wish you felt the way I feel inside Let me wrap you in my Dracula cape Let me wrap you in my Dracula cape Don’t worry it’s never too late Let me wrap you in my Dracula cape Lately, it feels a lot like I’m sinking These days, it’s getting harder to breathe Things were pure, my love was yours right from the start But my broken mind was emptying your heart I cooked, I cleaned, I showed up late my eye swole shut But it was too late I’d broken your trust Chorus: Let me wrap you in my Dracula cape Let me wrap you in my Dracula cape Don’t worry it’s never too late Let me wrap you in my Dracula cape Often, I talk to you as I’m waking It takes a moment to realize I’m alone Wish that I could hear all about your day Wish I could show you how I’ve changed my ways The nights we spent were warm, I was so satisfied Wish you felt the way I feel inside Let me wrap you in my Dracula cape Let me wrap you in my Dracula cape Don’t worry it’s never too late Let me wrap you in my Dracula cape

I saw you standing there - blood all matted in your hair Your face all dampened with auto glass - I wanna be tangled in your morass Left your place, walked back - put my arms around your back And in that hall we did collide - the way i felt inside I miss your smell and your sacred sweat - I miss the calling of your lovin’ bed I can’t get you out of my head - oh to be in your arms again I sensed your danger - a live wire in the rain Drenched in memories I cannot erase I miss the sound of your loving kiss I miss the feeling of your sweet caress There's nothing I would do to erase These feelings I felt in your place Your love fingers in my hair told me you were really there An aberration, a love depraved. I'll burn alive to be your Nick Cave You sensed my weakness - like a neutron bomb Irradiated - burning in my room I see your face and the blood in your hair See your face and the blood in your hair I wanna be there - trapped in your lair I wanna be there… I wanna be there Falling through time and we’re feeling the drag Falling in time and we’re feeling the drag Voltage is down… I’m riding the sag Feeling it drag… Feeling it drag…. Your laugh brings me down to my knees Your love brings me such sweet relief Let me walk through your fire, girl, give me a reason to breathe I see your face and the blood in your hair See your face and the blood in your hair I wanna be there - trapped in your lair I wanna be there… I wanna be there Falling through time and we’re feeling the drag Falling in time and we’re feeling the drag Voltage is down… I’m riding the sag Feeling it drag… Feeling it drag…. Your laugh brings me down to my knees Your voice brings me such sweet relief Let me walk through your fire, girl, give me a reason to breathe
