WHERE CAN THE DARKNESS BE DROWNED?
If you see me tonight In the alley
All bent as I'm making my way
Don't offer your help / I must do this myself
And it's best that I not be delayed
As I carry my shadowy burden
Dragging it all over town
I've asked high and low, but nobody knows
Where can the darkness be drowned?
My bag slung over my shoulder
It writhes like a bundle of snakes
It's heavy to bear, I grumble and swear
As it fights every step that I take
But I'm chained to my murderous mission
Nothing will turn me around
So be a good friend, let me ask you again
Where can the darkness be drowned?
I don’t need some luminous ocean
Or a bright shiny shore with a view
I confess that I harbor this notion
That any old puddle will do
The big squeeze isn't going to be easy
It's bound to kick up a few waves
It won't be any fun, when the foul deed is done
I won't dance on it's watery grave
Some think that I don't have it in me
No stomach for holding it down
But all that I lack, is a tub for this sack
Tell me where... Where?
Where can the darkness be drowned?
