Nomeansno Something Dark Against Something Light Lyrics

See the snake that crawls across
The path in the woods of the little boy lost
Hear the hissing feel the bite
As he opens his eyes in the pale moon light
One is low one is high
Crossing on the back between black and white
Out of a dream and into the night
Something Dark Against Something Light

Something Dark Against Something Light
Something Moving In The Pale Moon Light
Something Dark Against Something Light
Something Dark Against Something Light
Something Moving In The Pale Moon Light
Something Dark Against Something Light

See the goat that is pale as snow
Standing on a hill where the cold winds blow The Sheppard sleeping in the valley below
Dreaming of a heaven where the righteous go
Something moving in the pale moon light
At the edge of trees out of the border of sight
See the shadows first black then white
Something Dark Against Something Light

Something Dark Against Something Light
Something Moving In The Pale Moon Light
Something Dark Against Something Light
Something Dark Against Something Light
Something Moving In The Pale Moon Light
Something Dark Against Something Light

[Repeated several times]

In the pale moon light…black is white
