Another One In The Dark

Wallflowers

We took 'em high, we took 'em straight up the hill

They wanted it all, we gave 'em such a fill

In their parades we stole every thrill

And in their games we made every kill



We took them hard, we 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 slayed dry like a fire would



So the bottom of my fears

Is that the girl might just disappear

But 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 hearted mama

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

And you know I may still believe

You may still need me



Well, she turned out the lights

When she opened the whites of my eyes

Another one in the dark

Broken from the start

Just another one in the dark



And in their nights we made out with a loud scream

And in their sleep we howled 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



Well, she sang out of tune

When she shot down the moon

As I saw my all freeze

Down onto my knees

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

As I was struck down under, with lightning and thunder

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

Leaving me in the dark, we stood just feet apart

But she never seen me at all
