Drive your stake through a
darkened heart
In a red Mercedes Benz
The blackness hides a speeding trap
The savage beast pretends
Ooooooo-ooo-oh yessssssss!
Ooooooo-ooo-oh yessssssss!
These long strange nights
These long strange nights
These long strange nights
Ooooooo-ooo-oh go-oo-o-od!
Ooooooo-ooo-oh go-oo-o-od!
These warped and twisted nights
These weird and tortured nights
If you write words shocked through with truth
Hunger dirt and gutter sharp
Eat the words and spurn the gutter
Climb the rise and surf
Ooooooo-ooo-oh yessssssss!
Ooooooo-ooo-oh yessssssss!
These long strange nights
These warped and civil rights
Ooooooo-ooo-oh go-oo-o-od!
Ooooooo-ooo-oh go-oo-o-od!
These warped and twisted nights
These warped and twisted rights
Ah, but never mind your rights, my love
Because . . .
They never really happened anyway
They never really happened . . . anyway
But day goes by
And love goes by
And sooner or later
We both must lie
And sooner or later
We all must die
And sooner or later
We all live a lie.
