The Ataris - Welcome The Night Lyrics

Can we understand life
And live it at the same time
Where is this purpose you speak of?
I'll be the background of this photograph
The soundtrack to this night
And we are fading out, before our eyes

Close your eyes and welcome in the night
Close your eyes and welcome in the night

In heaven so wonderful
Why are we oh so afraid of dying young
We are dying young
We are the patterns and the shapes
The patchwork from the window on this place
We are alone, alone, alone

Close your eyes and welcome in the night
Close your eyes and welcome in the night

This television set, it burns my eyes
And there is no one here
That can keep me warm tonight
Where is this purpose
Where is the lie, the lie, the lie

Close your eyes and welcome in the night
Close your eyes and welcome in the night
