Lessons in Crime - Day Becomes Night Lyrics

Oh, I'm an aristocrat
And I get off on selling souls
They try to ignore me but bow before me
Oh, that's how it goes
Your life is a welcome mat on which I step and drag my toes
The passage of time will creep up behind you
Oh, that's how it goes
When you get that feeling that there is a monster,
There's always a reason, your conscience is haunted
The spirits are humming the song of an offer
And you won't be safe anywhere
The days are too long
And then they end
Right when we wanted some more
They always end
Right when we needed some more
Then day becomes night
As we close our eyes to sleep
And why can't I feel it?
And why can't we just be
Together now?
Oh, I'm an aristocrat
And I can make this hell your home
The passage of time was always beside you
Oh, that's how it goes
Have they got a name for this sorrow?
Against all, where we once stood tall
And it's easy to wait for tomorrow
When there's nothing to miss
The days are too long
And then they end
Right when we wanted some more
They always end
Right when we needed some more
Then day becomes night
As we close our eyes to sleep
And why can't I feel it?
And why can't we just be
Together now?
Well that's what I call one hell of a day
And a weight on my back
That's what I call one hell of a life
With my spine twisted in a knot
Oh, I'm an aristocrat and I get off on selling souls
They try to ignore me but bow before me
Oh, that's how it goes
