Lyrics for Bad Moons

Surprise! I'm just two little boys in a trench coat with plastic knives I'm scared and I don't want to grow up I only feel alive at night so during the day I cover my eyes Surprise! I've been so many boys in this trench coat Ask my ex-wife - she met Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide (I know that should be a "Y" but none of my "Whys" ever get answered) Under bad moons I'm a bad bone I've got some bad news - I only feel alive when I'm alone I lost my way in the dark Precious time My moral line I lost everything in the dark Friends for life A wilted wife And every last one of my sharp knives I lost my mind in the dark I told all my lies in the dark I poured my drinks in the dark I explored new kinks in the dark I found every vein in the dark I hid my shame in the dark I got turned on in the dark I was so far gone in the dark I bit my tongue in the dark I collapsed a lung in the dark I held my breath in the dark I welcomed death in the dark I slit my wrists in the dark I didn't exist in the dark until I found you in the dark
