Lyrics
Com ing out to the light of day, we got man y moons that are deep at play, so I keep an eye on the shad ow’s smile to (F)see what it has to say.
You and I both know, well, ev ’ry thing must go a way.
Ah, what do you say?
Spin ning off, head is on my heart.
It’s like a bit of light ord and a touch of dark.
We got sneak at tack from the zo di ac, but I (Fmaj7)see your fire for spark.
Keep the breeze and flow
blow by blow, and go a way.
Ah, what do you say?
Yeah!
You don’t know my mind;
you don’t know my kind.
Dark ne ces si ties are (G)part of my de sign, and
tell the world that I’m
fall ing from the sky.
Dark ne ces si ties are (G)part of my de sign.
Stum ble down to the park ing lot; with you got no of time ord for the af ter thought.
They’re like ice ing cream for an as tro naut.
Well that’s (Fmaj7)me look ing ter weed.
Turn the cor ner and
find the world at your com mand,
Ah, play ing the hand.
Yeah!
You don’t know my mind;
you don’t know my kind.
Dark ne ces si ties are (G)part of my de sign, and
tell the world that I’m
fall ing from the sky.
Dark ne ces si ties are (G)part of my de sign.
(G)part of my de sign.
(C)Do you want this love of mine?
The (Bb)dark ness helps the soul to shine.
(Dm)Do you want it, do you want it (F)now?
(C)Do you want it all the time?
But (Bb)dark ness helps the soul to shine.
(Dm)Do you want it, do you want it (F)now?
(G)part of my de sign.
