Drive your stake through a darkened heart In a red Mercedes Benz The blackness hides a speeding trap The savage beast pretends Ooooooo-ooo-oh yessssssss! Ooooooo-ooo-oh yessssssss! These long strange nights These long strange nights These long strange nights Ooooooo-ooo-oh go-oo-o-od! Ooooooo-ooo-oh go-oo-o-od! These warped and twisted nights These weird and tortured nights If you write words shocked through with truth Hunger dirt and gutter sharp Eat the words and spurn the gutter Climb the rise and surf Ooooooo-ooo-oh yessssssss! Ooooooo-ooo-oh yessssssss! These long strange nights These warped and civil rights Ooooooo-ooo-oh go-oo-o-od! Ooooooo-ooo-oh go-oo-o-od! These warped and twisted nights These warped and twisted rights Ah, but never mind your rights, my love Because . . . They never really happened anyway They never really happened . . . anyway But day goes by And love goes by And sooner or later We both must lie And sooner or later We all must die And sooner or later We all live a lie.
