Another One In The Dark - The Wallflowers

Took 'em high, took 'em straight up the hill

They wanted it all, gave 'em such a fill

Their parades we stole every thrill

In their games we made every kill

Took them hard, took them up against the wall

In their loss we never let them fall

In their flames we sailed up to the moon

In their rains we stay dry like a fire would

So the bottom of my fears

Is that girl might just disappear

That’ll be the death of me

The day she’s just a memory

Well she turned out the lights when she opened the whites of my eyes

Another one in the dark

Broken all apart

Just another one in the dark

When we rolled, rolled on like a big drum

We went to the top, just above everyone

They wanted to win, tie us up with a string and steal everything

We took 'em skin on skin

We laid 'em down in the ring

So I swear, we’re a pair

Like loneliness and a prayer

You know I might believe

You may still need me

Well she turned out the lights and she opened the whites of my eyes

Another one in the dark

Broken from the start

Just another one in the dark

In their nights, made out with a loud scream

In their sleep, howl inside every dream

So if you’re trying to break me

Come on why don’t you shake me

Right out of my tree

The one that you made me, me, yeah

Well she sang out of tune when she shot down the moon

As I saw my all freeze, down onto my knees

I was hit at the hip between the cup and the lip

As I strut down under the lighting and love

As she cut all the strings that I’d tied to her wings

Leaving me in the dark

We stood just feet apart

She never see me at all
