IN THE DARKNESS OF THE DAY

I SEE THE DAYLIGHT OUT OF SPITE

IT MAKES THE NIGHTTIME SEEM OKAY

SO, WHEN THE EVENING ROLLS AROUND

AND THE ROOT SELLERS DECAY

THE EMPTY SOULS OF UNDERGROUND

WITH THEIR CONSCIENCE GONE ASTRAY

 

AND ON THE TIPS OF TONGUES UNFURLED

WORDS ARE SPOKEN LOUD AND CLEAR

THE SHOT WAS HEARD AROUND THE WORLD

BUT I NEVER HEARD IT HERE

THOUGH I SAW IT ON THE NEWS

IT CONFIRMED MY DEEPEST FEAR

AND YOU KNOW YOUR GONNA LOSE

THERE'S NO NEED TO PERSEVERE

 

CHORUS:

ENID WENT TO NEW YORK CITY

WE PRESUME, BUT WE DON'T KNOW

I MET A GIRL FROM COLORADO

SHE JUST DISAPPEARED INTO THIN AIR

INTO A SPIN, NOW I CAN'T STAND

'CAUSE I GOT VERTIGO

'CAUSE I GOT VERTIGO

'CAUSE I GOT VERTIGO

 

INSTRUMENTAL, THEN REPEAT CHORUS
