You come home very late at night

Into a world that's black

Step through your iron door

And carefully watch your back

You shuffle around, you shuffle around

'Til you find that vacant room

Somebody better show you the way

Or you'll wind up in cement shoes

Don't ask me any questions

Don't leave me far behind

Just drop some hints on where to go



Leave all the lights on

Let it shine right through your heart

Leave all the lights on

'Cause baby I'm afraid on the dark



You don't know what it does to me

When you walk outside alone

Four long flights you go down

And you run until you get home

I shiver and I shake, I shiver and I shake

When I think about you out there

Somebody better calm me down

Or find me an electric chair

A clean slate is what I have and I'd

Like to keep it that way

But when trouble comes next to me

You know baby I'm not to blame
