Come on to the light of day

We've got men and women that are deep at play

So I keep an eye on the shadow smile to see



What it has to say



You and I both know everything must go away what do you say



Spinning out head is on my heart

It's like a bit of light and a touch of dark

You got a sneak attack from the zodiac



But I see your bright spark



Keep the breeze and go



Go my flow and go away what do you say



You don't know my mind



You don't know my kind



Dark necessities are part of my design and



Tell the world that I am falling from the sky



Dark necessities are part of my design



Stumble down through the parking lot

I've got no time for the after thought

You're like ice cream for an astronaut well that's me looking for we



Turn the corner and find a world that's your command



Playing the hand



You don't know my mind



You don't know my kind



Dark necessities are part of my design and



Tell the world that I am falling from the sky



Dark necessities are part of my design



Do you want this love of mine

The darkness  helps to sort  the shine



Do you want it do you want it now



Do you want it all the time



But darkness helps us all to shine



Do you want it do you want it now



Make it work like a paperback

With the track record of a maniac



So I move it in and we unpack it's the same as yesterday



Anyway we roll everything must go away what do you say



You don't know my mind



You don't know my kind



Dark necessities are part of my design and



Tell the world that I am falling from the sky



Dark necessities are part of my design
