Full dark, no stars it's the middle of the night
Nothing here but my body and devil's wine
I shudder at your touch it's cold, I'm ready
To face all that I can survive, just like Carrie
How can I sleep tonight with the devil on the inside?
Paint the walls of my mind REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM
You were always there through the darkest of wars
The nightmares I had couldn't compare to yours
Now just after sunset I wait in the dark
IT calls out my name, pulls me down by the arm
Running, run, run, running
But you come along, you make me feel strong
Misery is a theme in my life
You say, "I know what you need"
It's wrong, it's right
The long walk is torture
I need you so I can survive
You were always there through the darkest of wars
The nightmares I had couldn't compare to yours
Now just after sunset I wait in the dark
IT calls out my name, pulls me down by the arm
Running, run, run, running
But you come along, you make me feel strong
You speak in a way that I can understand
You're a face in the crowd or the dark man
I'm thinner 'cos you strip me apart
You cherish the place that is dark in my heart
How can I sleep tonight with the devil on the inside?
Paint the walls of my mind REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM
You were always there through the darkest of wars
The nightmares I had couldn't compare to yours
Now just after sunset I wait in the dark
IT calls out my name, pulls me down by the arm
Running, run, run, running
But you come along, you make me feel strong
