Watch out, now
Take care, beware
Of thoughts that linger
Winding 'round inside your head
And the pain that often lingers
In the dead of night
In the dead of night
Beware of darkness

Watch out, now
Take care, beware
Of greedy leaders
Who take you where you should not go
While weeping at the cedars
In the dead of night
In the dead of night
Beware of sadness

It can kill you
It can hurt you
Make you sore
And what is more
That is not what you are here for

Watch out, now
Take care, beware
Of soft shift shufflers
They're dancin' down the sidewalk
While each unconscious sufferer
Wanders aimlessly
In the dead of night
Beware of darkness - It can kill you
Beware of darkness - It can cut you down
Beware of darkness
