Lyrics:

What this night wants is what it gets
Strung in silken knots, lit by cigarettes
Flaring side by side with the streets all wet
Is the only thing that's bright

And I don't need to cross that bridge, I find
I'm swinging and sailing over the pit tonight
I'm hanging from a hit tonight
Was wild enough to order up and toss across my lips

What's making all my tears
Is taking all my fears away
But I don't need to cry
'Cause now I'm clear, ooh

A moth that's swerving through the sage
A creature crashing from a cage
A shadow vaporized by a new sun ray
A day she spends the night

And I can hear her sigh
As she's almost asleep on one side
I lie back on my pillow
And ask what her husband is like, ooh

And she says
'I smile polite and I tip and tithe
And I see the sights with a well-trained eye
But I calmly cry
'Cause I'm too much mine without him

And I lie reclined, where the room is quiet
And it's quiet at night, the soft silk is fine
And the waves are white
But the wind has died without him

And I scream my smiles and I want my wires
And I need my stripes and I read the lines
Till I lid my eyes
And I'm losing time without him.'

And she says
'And I ignite inside and I flash with fire
And I limp from life and I'm blazing blind
And I'm surging live and give up my mind
When with him.'

And then every dream inside
Turns to flames, fades to grey and is dying
And the smoke rises into
A white, blank, bare, broke-open sky, ooh
