VERSE
Darkness is my friend tonight
Don't wanna step out into the light
Don't want anyone to see my face
Don't need anyone to invade my space so
PRE-CHORUS
Don't ask me any questions
Cause I don't want to think
Don't ask me any questions or offer me a drink
CHORUS
So excuse me if I seem impolite
But darkness is my friend tonight
And all the stars are shining brightly for me
I'm just kicking stones and
I'm shining like a christening spoon when mouths don't move and
ears don't listen and hearts don't break and eyes don't glisten

VERSE
I'm wondering if you are home.
Wondering if I should toss up a pebble or a stone.
I'm underneath your window,
Maybe you'd like to talk or some tingling sin.
CHORUS
But excuse me if I seem impolite
But darkness is my friend tonight
And all the stars that shine in bright for me
In the dawn it breaks and
And you're running boughs and lighting candles
Where mouths don't move and ears don't listen
And hearts don't break and eyes don't glisten

BRIDGE
And the dawn is breaking and
And you're running baths and you're lighting candles
Where eyes don't move and ears don't listen
And hearts don't break and eyes don't glisten
CHORUS
Darkness is my friend tonight
Don't wanna step out into the light
Don't need anyone to see my face
Don't need anyone to invade my space so
Don't ask me any questions
Don't ask me any questions
