Lyrics

Com ing on to the light of day, we got man y moons that are deep at play, so I keep an eye on the shad ow smile to (Abmaj7)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 knot that is on my heart is like a bit of light rec ord in a touch of dark. You got sneak at tack from the zo di ac, but I (Abmaj7)see your fire for spark. Eat the breeze and go 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 (Bb)part of my de sign, and tell the world that I’m fall ing from the sky. Dark ne ces si ties are (Bb)part of my de sign. Stum ble down to the park ing lot; you got a no of time rec ord for the af ter thought. They’re like ice it cream for an as tro naut. Well, that’s (Abmaj7)me look ing ter we. 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 (Bb)part of my de sign, and tell the world that I’m fall ing from the sky. Dark ne ces si ties are (Bb)part of my de sign. (Bb)part of my de sign. (Eb)Do you want this love of mine? The (Db)dark ness helps us all to shine. (Fm)Do you want it, do you want it (Ab)now? (Eb)Do you want it all the time? But (Db)dark ness helps us all to shine. (Fm)Do you want it, do you want it (Ab)now? (Ab)now? Ah! (Bb)part of my de sign.
