[Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque]

[Verse 1]
Just after midnight, they are bringing me my pills
Just after midnight, lights are out at Black Hill
But they don't know me, they don't know me at all
Tonight, pills will be chills, will be kills

[Chorus]
Waiting in the dark
I cannot take another night
Waiting in the dark
I cannot take it anymore

[Verse 2]
If I don't take my medication, they will all be here
But I think I fooled them, I think I'm in the clear
Nursie doesn't know this is her last night
She even brought the key, that's gonna set me free

[Chorus]
Waiting in the dark
I cannot take another night
Waiting in the dark
I cannot take it anymore
[Bridge 1]
Tonight I'm taking her instead, hahah
My hands are so much stronger than her isty-bitsy little head

[Guitar Solo: Herb Simonsen]

[Bridge 2]
Empty eyes are staring at the wall
I cannot hear her breathing anymore

[Guitar Solo: Herb Simonsen]

[Bridge 3]
I'm looking for the key in her hand
That blueish little hand

[Verse 3]
Running through the empty halls of this forgotten place
Unlocking doors that never open
But now I've got the key, the key to freedom
And I'm unlocking doors that never should be opened

[Chorus]
Waiting in the dark
I cannot take another night
Waiting in the dark
I cannot take it anymore
[Outro]
Six-six-six miles, I've been running through the woods
Six-six-six miles and now before me, the cemetery gates
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I climb the gate between life and death
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I walk upon the moonlit graves
I'm home
