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