You say you don't want me hanging around
Your friends think I'm strange and get scared
You say you don't want me sharing your ground
I was stupid to think that you cared
But one day babe, that sun will go down
And darkness will steal you from sight
And when that dark comes, give up hope, give up all
'Cause I will be king of the night
I sit in this room staring at the four walls
And I see your face form on the ceiling
The walls, closing in, seem to scream I can't win
They've forgotten with who they are dealing
One day, babe, that sun will go down
And darkness will steal you from sight
And when that dark comes, give up hope, give up all,
'Cause I will be king of the night
Thinking about how I tried hard to love you
Watching the world laughing right in my face
For now I'm the ground, but the sky up above you
Changes in hue to bring me to my place
G.S., '81
