Born at Night

Out looking under rocks in the last of daylight

Pink and blue candy-marbled skies

Out hunting shadows and only killing time

Darkness comes, and without surprise

That patch of earth you're on

Has been claimed from you now

And as the future looms

It unkindly grips your nerves

It's been watching the whole time

And now your fears are confirmed

Prayers are for those with faith

But I was born at night

I was born at night

I was born at night

I was born at night

That bird stares you down

With eyes bouncing off the moon

Says, "If there's no room for cowards now

Then who the fuck are you?

Whatever you came here for

You are leaving with the truth

Must have forgot my name"

But I was born at night

I was born at night

I was born at night

I was born at night

I was born at night

I was born at night

I'm starting to believe it wouldn't at all have mattered

If I hit all the right notes
