The clock is ticking like the pigeons peck the stairs at the park
Your hands are shaking but you're breaking from the crack in your heart
Ooh

You wring your hands and you straighten your gown
You pray to God that your parents just sleep through the sound

There's a nightlight screaming at you
The window's open and the wind is rushing through
You set your eyes on the dark of the night
There's a comet and its flame is burning bright
It's getting late and he's running out of time

A noise awakens and the dog next door lets it be own
Cacophony of barking takes a somewhat ominous tone
You brace your fingers and you summon your might
Get on the floor and do your best to stay out of sight

Stay out of
Sight

There's a nightlight screaming at you
The window's open and the wind is rushing through
You set your eyes on the dark of the night
There's a comet and its flame is burning bright
It's getting late and he's running out of time

Sound of pebbles break the threshold and make piles in your room
Another level hits the treble of your sonic boom
You steel your courage and you steel your pride
You steal innocence when you accepted the ride

Accepted the
Ride

There's a nightlight screaming at you
The window's open and the wind is rushing through
You got a love and it's way overdue
You got a poison burning deep inside of you
There's a lick and it's sticking like glue
Apothecary only you unlock the clue
You set your eyes on the dark of the night
There's a comet and its flame is burning bright
It's getting late and he's running out of time

Ooh yeah

Ooh yeah

Ooh yeah

Ooh yeah
