Lyrics

Oblivion

[Verse 1]

I never walk about after dark

It's my point of view

’Cause someone could break your neck

Coming up behind you

Always coming and you'd never have a clue

I never looked behind all the time

I will wait forever

Always looking straight

Thinking counting all the hours you wait

[Chorus]

See you on a dark night

See you on a dark night

See you on a dark night

See you on a dark night

[Verse 2]

And no, I'm not a jerk

I would ask if you could help me out

It’s hard to understand

'Cause when you're runnin' by yourself

It's hard to find someone to hold your hand

I know it's good to be tough like me

But I would wait forever

I need someone else

To look into my eyes and tell me

"Girl, you know you've got to watch your health"

[Bridge]

To look into my eyes and tell me

La la la la la

To look into my eyes and tell me

La la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la

[Chorus]

See you on a dark night

See you on a dark night

See you on a dark night

See you on a dark night

See you on a dark night

See you on a dark night

See you on a dark night

See you on a dark night

See you on a dark night
