Mozart Khadaffi - In the dead of night lyrics

rate me

I can't live with you

I can't live without your body

So let me hang out in you

Watch me feed my vanity

So put your freehold aside

And let's be a mutual compromise

Just to honour the pride we choose to call love

Happy dagger touch my wetstone!

Put your shaky little hand in mine

It's a sky blue night deep as the forest

We've got a long way ahead of us

And distance to travel

'Cause you choose to ignore my cupboard love

Though there's a selfish skeleton waving inside

Caught in the religion of self worship

He made you the object of a life long ritual

Do you hear chanting in the distance?

Or is it something slipping into our dreams?

Don't worry about the beasts in the distance

The real peril walks right beside you

....In the dead of night

I'm only happy when I'm close to you

'Cause it brings me closer to myself

And I'm telling you lie upon lie upon lie

While you're waiting for that moment of truth

Well, it dried up in blot-stained sheets

With the water-treading lies in your mind even before you met me

I'd rather die than lose you

I'd rather die than be without you

Have you seen the fish in the dark lake

They huddle at the sound of wolves in the night

Come closer, I see you cower

I will never let them bring you down (that's my duty)

'Cause you choose to ignore....
