  • Surprise
    I'm just two little boys in a trench coat with plastic knives
    I'm scared and I don't want to grow up
    I only feel alive at night, so during the day I cover my eyes

    Surprise
    I've been so many boys in this trench coat
    Ask my ex-wife, she met Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide
    I know, I know, I know that should be a, "Y"
    But none of my, "Whys" ever get answered

    Under bad moons, I'm a bad bone
    I've got some bad news, I only feel alive when I'm alone

    I lost my way in the dark
    Precious time
    My moral line
    I lost everything in the dark
    Friends for life
    A wilted wife
    And every last one of my sharp knives

    I lost my mind in the dark
    I told all my lies in the dark
    I poured my drinks in the dark
    I explored new kinks in the dark
    I found every vein in the dark
    I hid my shame in the dark
    I got turned on in the dark
    I was so far gone in the dark
    I bit my tongue in the dark
    I collapsed a lung in the dark
    I held my breath in the dark
    I welcomed death in the dark
    I slit my wrists in the dark
    I didn't exist in the dark
    Until I found you in the dark Writer/s: Mike Kinsella, Nate Kinsella, Steve Holmes, Steve Lamos
