Alpha Rat's Nest Lyrics

All the lengthening hours of the refinery

Belching fire into the sky

We do our best vampire routines

As we suck the dying hours dry

The night is lovely as a rose

If I see sunlight hit you

I am sure that we'll both decompose

All the fitful sleep and the fire engines

That I dream of when I dream

Someday we'll both wake up for good

I will try hard not to scream

The evening wind will shake the blind

You're stirring from your slumber

We've got something hateful on our minds

Oh sing, sing, sing

For the dying of the day

Sing for the flames that will rip through here

And the smoke that will carry us away

Sing for the damage we've done

And the worse things that we'll do

Open your mouth up and sing for me now

And I will sing for you
