Walk on in Darkness

Now that everyone's gone, it's just me and the Lord In this little apartment in Queens With the trash piled high and a chain on the door And the neighbors all know what that rattling means I can see through the window the moon like a stain And the neon sign's humming a prayer It's talking to you Walk on in darkness, deeper than the ocean Walk on in darkness and I will not understand Walk on in darkness, black, opaque and devious Walk on in darkness deep Do the alley-cat dance Now I'm out in the street and the rain's never-ending Got a taste for the things we can't know And God's calling me back on my portable headset There's a horn in the gutter that's starting to blow Talk to me, talk to me, when you sad, when you lonely But don't talk to the man from the government hole Take off your head Walk on in darkness, boarded up in mystery Walk on in darkness and shield me from the swarm Walk on in darkness, cottonball material Walk on in darkness deep—tap (tap, tap, tap) toes
