let darkness prevail tonight
let darkness suppress the idle details
my love, let us dwindle

away from vain struggle

to exorcise bad memory
spread gasoline on closet pyre
on that fire we will warm our hands
by that light we will groom each other

pull down the shades
unplug the telephone
let's disappear

Are the ghosts of the industry wailing tonight?
shaking chains in the attic
droning amps in the basement
dancing like monkeys to a barrel organ

no one remembers a face or a name
these struggles are vain
my love let us fade
