Lyrics

Heart of Darkness

Maybe you see further than I can see

Maybe things all just look differently

Maybe I'm nothing but a shadow on the wall

Maybe love's a tomb where you dance at night

Maybe sanctuary is a electric light

I get so tired it's like I'm another man

And everything I see seems so underhanded

And I don't see anything that I want

And I don't see anything that I want

Image, object and illusion go down to the corner

Where none of the faces fit a human form

Where nothing I see there isn't deformed

Where in a secret lab works Doctor Moreau

And no private eye's gotta tell me it's a long goodbye

I get so tired it's like I'm another man

And everything I see seems so underhanded

And I don't see anything that I want

And I don't see anything that I want

Looking into...

Looking into...

Looking into...

Looking into the...

Looking into the heart of...

I'm looking into the heart of darkness

Looking into the heart of darkness

I'm looking into the heart of darkness

I'm looking into the heart of darkness

I'm looking into the heart of darkness

I'm looking into the heart of darkness

I'm looking into the heart of darkness

I'm looking into the heart of darkness
