[Verse 1]
I'll call you thing
And place your face in stone
Upon the hill of stars
And gripped in the arms
Of the changeless madman
We'll dance our lives away

[Refrain]
You talk about day
I'm talkin' 'bout nighttime
You talk about day
I'm talkin' 'bout nighttime
You talk about day
I'm talkin' 'bout nighttime

[Verse 2]
You dance with your lizard leather boots on
And pull the strings that change the faces of man
You're a diamond-browed hag
You're a gutter-gaunt gangster

[Refrain]
You talk about day
I'm talkin' 'bout nighttime
You gotta look fine
Be primed for dancing, you're gonna trip and glide
[Verse 3]
Your diamond hands will be stacked with roses
I call you thing
And place your face in stone
Upon the hill of stars
And gripped in the arms of the changeless madman
We'll dance our lives away

[Refrain]
You talk about day
I'm talkin' 'bout nighttime
You talk about day
I'm talkin' 'bout nighttime
You talk about day
I'm talkin' 'bout nighttime

[Pre-Chorus]
You are my night, put my dogs to fright
I wanna be your friend
I wanna call you, I wanna ball you
All night long
The city's shaking, I ain't faking, baby
This is the end
I'm overloaded, my head's exploded
I wanna get you and then
[Chorus]
Come on, honey, let's press our luck
A little prayer for you to suck
Here comes mommy with her Tommy gun
Open wounds just make her croon
Double up on some margarine
Lick your baby, ain't we got fun?
Me I funk, but I don't care
I ain't no square with my cork screw hair

[Refrain]
You talk about day
I'm talkin' 'bout nighttime

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
You talk about day
I'm talkin' 'bout...

[Pre-Chorus]
You are my night, put my dogs to fright
I wanna be your friend
I wanna call you, I wanna ball you
All night long
The city's shaking, I ain't faking, baby
This is the end
I'm overloaded, my head's exploded
I wanna get you and then
[Chorus]
Come on, honey, let's press our luck
A little prayer for you to suck
Here comes mommy with her Tommy gun
Open wounds just make her croon
Double up on some margarine
Lick your baby, ain't we got fun?
Me I funk, but I don't care
I ain't no square with my cork screw hair

[Pre-Chorus]
You are my night, put my dogs to fright
I wanna be your friend
I wanna call you, I wanna ball you
All night long
The city's shaking, I ain't faking
This is the end
I'm overloaded, my head's exploded
I wanna get you and then

[Chorus]
Come on, honey, let's press our luck
A little prayer for you to suck
Here comes mommy with her Tommy gun
Open wounds just make her croon
Double up on some margarine
Lick your baby, ain't we got fun?
Me I funk, but I don't care
I ain't no square with my cork screw hair
