Endless Night - Graham Parker
Uh, I had the time but I blew it, I had the power and I knew it
had the energy, but outgrew it, the identity but saw through it, yeah
I had the walk, but got trampled, had the taste, it was sampled
Had the engine dismantled, had the flame, but no candle
[Chorus]
I can't bear to see how it all looks in the light, keep it hidden now
If I could only find a switch that turns on the endless night
That turns on the endless night, that turns on the endless night
that turns on the endless night
Ah, if there's a wire, must cross it, if there's a coin, must toss it
If it's dirt can't wash it, It's my head, d-don't cosh it
There's a door, but they shut it, we all bleed, they cut it
It's so dark when you don't fit, it's a gauntlet you gotta run it oh baby
[Repeat Chorus]
Turn on the endless, turn on the endless, turn on the endless
If there's a cross, then bear it, if there's a loss, then share it
If it's a risk let's dare it, if it's blindness, outstare it
[Repeat Chorus]
That turns on the endless night, turns on the endless night
Let's turns on the endless night
