She waits patiently during the day
Until the sun goes all around, then says
Her peace by taking possession
And shedding all boring repressions
That’s her, the charming darkness.
She ties her tongue with her teeth
And stills the veins in her feet
Just to be very obedient
Because she knows this is transient
That’s her, the charming darkness
So allow her to take possession
Let her rule in style the night
She has every damn right
She is the suffering queen by day and the ruling queen of the night
That’s her, the charming darkness.
