Soon the moon will fill your mouth with awe
And the world will roll back in your head
when the clocks start spinning off the road
Then you'll know, yeah then you'll know
Until the daybreak robs us blind,
And our dreams are exposed to light
Thank God for the Night
Thank God for the Night
Thank God for the Night
On currents of sheets we lie,
With this book as our only reply
(Hear it say, drift away)
But it not that we need the rest,
just the freedom to howl at the breast
(cold and white, jewel of the night)
To destroy ourselves each time
It's a hunger it's instinct, it's a rite
Thank God for the Night
Thank God for the Night
Thank God for the Night
with our pupils open wide
We can swallow the dancers alive
It's where the actors and janitors cry
And pay the same for a light
The musicians have arrived
To equalize their gripes
Thank God for the Night
Thank God for the Night
Thank God for the Night
Until the lullabies subside
And our dreams are exposed to light
Thank God for the Night
Thank God for the Night
Thank God for the Night
