about

This is an odd little tune I wrote in my Grandmother's attic. A friend of mine thinks it's about vampires; while I can see that now, vampires never entered my mind while writing it. It's actually about temptation, and you can pick your poison on that one.

lyrics

SUNLIGHT STROBES THROUGH THE TREES
THE FLASHING LIGHTS MAKE ME TELL THE TRUTH
I'VE BEEN TEMPTED BY THE DARK SIDE

PULL MY HAT DOWN TO HIDE MY EYES
BECAUSE THEY SPEAK LOUDER THAN MY MOUTH
AND I CAN'T HELP IT IF I TRY

I'VE SEEN THE LIGHT BOUNCING OFF HER SWEAT
I DRANK IT WARM BABY LIKE HER BREATH
AND IT TASTES JUST LIKE THE DARK SIDE

RING THIS OUT UNTIL IT'S DRY
UNLIKE THE BLACK RIVER RUNNING THROUGH MY MIND
I SINK TO THE BOTTOM EVERY NIGHT

SUNLIGHT STROBES THROUGH THE TREES
AND I BLEND INTO THE SHADOWS
COMING HOME TO THE DARK SIDE
