I stand, I watch, from my domestic domain
By the window, staring out at the rain
Familiar corners, familiar places to hide
But the world outside looks so inviting at night, oh
[Chorus]
So I'll slip through the walls (slip through the walls)
Out to the dark (out to the dark)
And I won't come on home 'til the day
And I'll climb on the roof (climb on the roof)
Shout to the stars (shout to the stars)
And I won't come on home 'til the day
Give me darkness, but give me your warmth as well
And I'll come home with outside secrets to tell
But until then it's just a world I see in my head
So I'll spend my nights there by the foot of the bed
But all that I see
Belongs to me
From the stones on the street
To the tops of the trees
[Chorus]
So I'll slip through the walls (slip through the walls)
Out to the dark (out to the dark)
And I won't come on home 'til the day
And I'll climb on the roof (climb on the roof)
Shout to the stars (shout to the stars)
And I won't come on home 'til the day
