CAT EMPIRE

- The Darkness Lyrics

Something
Something kissed my lips
Something
Something brushed my fingertips
The north winds battle
In the car park
And the darkness
In the darkness
Somewhere
The night is on the run
With a bottle of ouzo
And a rusty gun
The north wind
Is like a Spanish guitar
Soaked in petrol
Burning on the bar

Let the dead raise there heads
And the dying leave there beds

Ah she didn't believe what her mama said
And she climbed out the window in the darkness

And behind you in the night
A million dogs come out to fight

In the empire that will be rising rising
Rising through the night

Something
Something give me strength
I'm burning
Burning on the brink
The north wind
Is like cinnamon and wine
And the darkness
Is the darkness

Let the dead raise there heads
And the dying leave there beds
Ah she didn't believe what her mama said
And she climbed out the window in the darkness
And behind you in the night
A million dogs come out to fight
Cos it's the empire that will be rising rising
Rising through the night

Let the dead raise there heads
And the dying leave there beds
Ah she didn't believe what her mama said
And she climbed out the window in the darkness
And behind you in the night
A million dogs come out to fight
It's the empire that will be rising rising
Rising through the night
