lyrics

In the city, there is a man
whose world is crumbling down
You know money buys freedom here.
and so he builds a house of straw
with the pennies that he makes.
Will he ever regain control?

Once there was a time
when words flowed from his heart
Now here in decline
He can almost feel the dark:
closing in, his defences paper thin
closing in, from the world at night
under this fading light.

Feel the dark close in,
feel the dark close in,

In a doorway lies a girl,
with a needle to her vein.
Her childhood so far away...
So she becomes what they say she is:
she's taking money for her trade
There are habits she just can’t break.

Once there was a time
When words flowed from her heart
Now here in decline
She can almost feel the dark
closing in, her defences paper thin
closing in, from the world at night
under this failing light.

Love rescue me,
there's no way out that I can see
from this corner of the night...
And there's a stranger at my door
what has he come here for?
Has he come to steal the light?

A lightning flash, a thunder roll,
I count the seconds in between -
It seems the storm is drawing close
to me.

Feel the dark close in,
feel the dark close in.

In the city, there is a man
whose world is crumbling down
You know money buys freedom here.
And so I build a house of straw
with the money that I make.
Will I ever regain control?.

Once there was a time
when words flowed from this heart
Now here in decline
I can almost feel the dark
closing in, my defences paper thin
closing in, from the world at night
under this fading light


And once there was a time
when words flowed from our hearts
Now here in decline
We can almost feel the dark
closing in, our defences paper thin
closing in, from the world at night
under this fading light
Feel the Dark...
