Graham Parker & The Rumour - Endless Night lyrics

I had the time, but I blew it I had the power, and I knew it Had the energy, but outgrew it The identity, but saw through it yeah I had the walk, but got trampled Had the taste, it was sampled Had the engine, dismantled Had the flame, but no candle I can't bear to see how it all looks in the light, keep it hidden now If I could only find a switch that turns on the endless night That turns on the endless night that turns on the endless night that turns on the endless night If there's a wire, must cross it If there's a coin, must toss it If it's dirt, can't wash it It's my head, just don't cosh it There's a door, but they shut it We all bleed, they cut it It's so dark when you don't fit It's a gauntlet, you gotta run it oh baby I can't bear to see how it all looks in the light, keep it hidden now If I could only find a switch that turns on the endless night That turns on the endless night That turns on the endless night Turn on the endless turn on the endless turn on the endless If there's a cross, then bear it If there's a loss, then share it If there's a risk let's dare it If it's blindness, outstare it I can't bear to see how it all looks in the light, keep it hidden baby If I could only find a switch that turns on the endless night That turns on the endless night That turns on the endless night That turns on the endless night That turns on the endless night Let's turn on the endless night Let's turn on the endless night
