It wasn't quite the curse of Tutankhamen Or the kiss of death from Judas in the night And it felt so far beyond the blue horizon Tempting me with transports of delight And when the devil took my hand and said Come along with me
There I was, wide awake and dreaming Reaching out for something in the sky But I could not control that trembling feeling Everything I want is slipping by And when the devil took my hand and said Something you should see
I never knew what happened to my nightmare Everything went dark that August day And the eclipse was on the other side of somewhere But I was on the upside of afraid And then an angel took my hand and said Come along with me
