I'm tired of being grateful for a chance to take a dive
|
I'm sick of everything I do just to keep myself alive
|
When you cut away the skin that bears the brand
|
Standin' in the darkness, Baby, there I am
|
|
Standin' in the darkness
|
Someone call my name out
|
Standin' in the darkness
|
Someone put the flame out
|
Standin' in the darkness
|
Baby, there I am
|
Where the world began
|
|
Saw the man in Jamaica, he had a shadow on his back
|
I recalled the ring of fire, and he wore his suit of black
|
When the legend and the ocean meet the sand
|
Standin' in the darkness, Baby, there I am
|
|
Standin' in the darkness
|
Someone call my name out
|
Standin' in the darkness
|
Someone put the flame out
|
Standin' in the darkness
|
Baby, there I am
|
Where the world began
|
|
Everyone is so fabulous, hey, we all got our gun
|
Old Snakey's not a sinner, no, he just shows us how it's done
|
When you separate the wretched from the damned
|
Standin' in the darkness, Baby, there I am
|
|
Standin' in the darkness
|
Someone call my name out
|
Standin' in the darkness
|
Someone put the flame out
|
Standin' in the darkness
|
Baby, there I am
|
Where the world began
|
