On nights like tonight, when no one's around I put on the record, the record I found When I was a kid and the world was a town And Heartbreaker weren't nothing painful Carry me Mother Mary I'm faithless Like Sister Theresa, canonized, faceless The press release leaves the plagiarist nameless And all is forgiven On nights like tonight, when no one's around I sit in the dark on my hands on the ground And I smile like the devil smiles, unseen but proud Truth be told I don't know Who's at the helm Just sit tight And I'll make my way to you And I'll make my way to you
If I'm not on time Remember that I tried Carry me Mother Mary I'm faithless Like needles in haystacks that we just replace It's all the same monster that nobody faces Where all is forgiven On nights like tonight, when no one's around I turn off the lights and I float off the ground And I smile like I used to when you were around But truth be told I don't know Who's at the helm Just sit tight I'll make my way to you I'll find a way to get to you I don't know who's at the helm Just sit tight And I'll find a way to get to you
