The night is black, without a moon The air is thick and still The vigilantes gather on The lonely torchlit hill Features distorted in the flickering light Faces are twisted and grotesque Silent and stern in the sweltering night The mob moves like demons

Dancing slowly in an empty room Can the lonely take the place of you I sing myself a quiet lullaby Let you go and let the lonely in To take my heart again I'm a ghost of a girl That I want to be most I'm the shell of a girl That I used to know well

I'm all for you body and soul My life a wreck you're making I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul My heart is sad and lonely For you I sigh, for you dear only Why haven't you seen it I spend my days in longing And wondering why it's me you're

I'll take these footsteps, go higher, go higher (I'll find you after all) I'll take these footsteps, go higher, go higher I feel like waking up, I've had this dream before I've walked an empty mile, wore down this lonely soul (Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo)

Leave our excellent souls I set a fire just to see what it kills And the rain's coming down Head for the coast Everything goes All our lonely kicks are getting harder to find We'll play nuns versus priests until somebody cries All our lonely kicks that
