lyrics

It’s Dark Outside

Baby, please don’t go home
You know it’s dark outside

I’m 35 years old
What do you really think is going to happen to me now?

Well, there are rapists and murderers and men who do go further
But, I don’t even want to think about them now

If you recall, it’s only you who took a fall
Way back when you were 21 years old

It’s cold and it’s dark out there
You can’t trust anybody no more
Let me hold you in my arms
Until the streets get safer
At least until this feeling goes

Baby, please don’t stay home
It’s not all bad out there

Honey, if you think I’m always going to be a victim
You’ve gone and mixed me up with someone else again

Let I remind you of the weeks that you’ve been begging on your knees
For me to close the curtains, lock the doors and hide

I can only presume that you would never leave this room
If it was your skull they cracked open not mine

It’s cold and it’s dark out there
You can’t trust anybody no more
Let me hold you in my arms
Until the streets get safer
At least until this feeling goes

Baby, please don’t go home
You know it’s dark outside

Honey, I guarantee you if you don’t see sense or reason soon
I’ll crack your goddamn skull open myself

May I remind you of Ed Gein, Dennis Nilsen and Ted Bundy
Jeffrey Dahmer, Ian Brady and that woman with the crazy staring eyes
You know the one, had her picture in The Sun for what seemed like every day for 20 years

Her name is Myra Hindley
I think it’s time that you should bring me my jacket ‘cause it’s cold outside

It’s cold and it’s dark out there
You can’t trust anybody no more
Let me hold you in my arms
Until the streets get safer
At least until this feeling goes
