Verse
F# D#m
Stumble on to the pavement; they're strapped tight to bed

C# C#/F F#
But I've got Randy Newman in my head
D#m
This is no corn-fed day, it's gloomy, blue, and cold
D#m/F# G#m
So let the muggings occur, I feel secure
C#
They say that I'm peculiar
[Chorus]
B D#m C#
And oh I don't know, I don't care
C# B
I'll be waiting for you there
D#m C#
Crave this chill, bathe in black
B
All the ghouls and fiends attack
D#m C# B
Knees go weak, and I swoon, underneath the pallid moon
D#m C#
Praise the night, oh, praise the night
C# F#
The only time I feel alright
[Verse]
F# D#m
Under the sun gods stare, I wince and blossom hives
G#m
Counting the fractions of day, rotting away
C# F#
As businessmen just drink away their lives
D#m
But when the stars once shy, come bloom and blanket earth
G#m
I feel beloved and blessed, quite Byron-esque
C#
I need to just get off my chest that, oh
[Chorus]
B D#m C#
And oh I don't know, I don't care

I'll be waiting for you there
D#m C#
Crave this chill, bathe in black

All the ghouls and fiends attack

Eyes erupt, and I swoon, underneath the pallid moon
D#m C#
Praise the night, oh, praise the night
C# F#
The only time I feel alright

F# D#m G#m C#
Ooh...
[Chorus]
B D#m C#
And oh I don't know, I don't care

I'll be waiting for you there

Crave this chill, bathe in black

All the ghouls and fiends attack

Head combusts, and I swoon, underneath the pallid moon
D#m C#
Praise the night, oh, praise the night

The only time I feel alright
