"Don't look, don't look" the shadows breathe,
whispering me away from you.
"Don't wake at night to watch her sleep,
you know that you will always lose
this trembling, adored, tousled bird-mad girl..."

But every night I burn, every night I call your name.
Every night I burn, every night I fall again.

"Oh, don't talk of love," the shadows purr,
Murmuring me away from you.
"Don't talk of worlds that never were.
he end is always ever true.
There's nothing you can ever say,
Nothing you can ever do..."

Still every night I burn, every night I scream your name,
Every night I burn, every night the dream's the same.

Every night I burn, waiting for my only friend.
Every night I burn, waiting for the world to end. yeah, yeah

"Just paint your face," the shadows smile.
Slipping me away from you.
"It doesn't matter how you hide.
We find you if we're wanting to.
So slide back down and close your eyes.
Sleep awhile you must be tired..."

Still every night I burn, every night I call your name.
Every night I burn, Every night the dream's the same.
Every night I burn, screaming the animal scream
Every night I burn, dreaming the crow-black dream. yeah, yeah
Dreaming the crow-black dream...
