Look at the man with the smile on his face Looks like he's always feelin' good Sometimes you might want to take his place And sometimes I think that you would
When the sun is goin' down And there is no place to hide Even in the brightest light You might lean toward the darker side
Look at the people, they learn how to lie so easy They learn how to lie to get what they need And after they got what they needed It turns into a simple case of greed
When they no longer feel ashamed And they've lost all sense of pride Misery, love's company And it's lonely on the darker side
And when the party is over And the music has died You'll be dancin' to the music, baby Somewhere on the darker side
