Stephen Lyrics

Full dark, no stars it’s the middle of the night

Nothing here but my body and devil’s wine

I shudder at your touch it’s cold, I’m ready

To face all that I can survive, just like Carrie

How can I sleep tonight with the devil on the inside?

Paint the walls of my mind REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM

You were always there through the darkest of wars

The nightmares I had couldn’t compare to yours

Now just after sunset I wait in the dark

IT calls out my name, pulls me down by the arm

Running, run, run, running

But you come along, you make me feel strong

Misery is a theme in my life

You say, “I know what you need”

It’s wrong, it’s right

The long walk is torture

I need you so I can survive

You were always there through the darkest of wars

The nightmares I had couldn’t compare to yours

Now just after sunset I wait in the dark

IT calls out my name, pulls me down by the arm

Running, run, run, running

But you come along, you make me feel strong

You speak in a way that I can understand

You’re a face in the crowd or the dark man

I’m thinner ‘cos you strip me apart

You cherish the place that is dark in my heart

How can I sleep tonight with the devil on the inside?

Paint the walls of my mind REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM

You were always there through the darkest of wars

The nightmares I had couldn’t compare to yours

Now just after sunset I wait in the dark

IT calls out my name, pulls me down by the arm

Running, run, run, running

But you come along, you make me feel strong
