When Darkness Falls - Mekons

why must you talk so loudly when i am on your mind?

my caution’s lost to vengence as you snore

now i’ll cut out your tongue 'cos you have said enough

watch the blood drip down the wall as darkness falls

it took seven days to catch that man

who’s stolen from me twice

seven hours of questioning and calls

now i’ll cut off your hands 'cos they have gone too far

watch that ring roll down the hall as darkness falls

see the (little) children outside playing

hear their voices sing

flowers in my hair and pockets

swinging on that swing

will you take a taxi?

will i make you walk?

we make big decisions every day

i’ll chop off your head

your thoughts have all turned bad

make you bend and make you crawl as darkness falls

i’ll pluck out your eyes

'cos you have seen too much

you know you should be ready when (as) darkness falls
