Darkness

I caught the darkness

It was drinkin' from your cup

I caught the darkness

I'm drinkin' from your cup

I said, "Is this contagious?"

You said, "Just drink it up"

I've got no future

I know my days are few

And the present's not that pleasant

Just a lot of things to do

I thought the past would last me

But the darkness got that too

I should have seen it comin'

It was right behind your eyes

You were young, and it was summer

I just had to take a dive

Winning you was easy

But darkness was the prize

I don't smoke no cigarette

I don't drink no alcohol

I ain't had much lovin' yet

But that's always been your call

Hey, I don't miss it, baby

I got no taste for anything at all

I used to love the rainbow

And I used to love the view

I loved the early morning

I'd pretend that it was new

But I caught the darkness, baby

And I got it worse than you

I caught the darkness

It was drinkin' from your cup

I caught the darkness

I'm drinkin' from your cup

I said, "Is this contagious?"

You said, "Just drink it up"
