Now It’s Dark Lyrics by Anthrax

Live - The Island Years

1988

[Intro]
(Heavy breathing)
“Do it for Van Gogh”

[Verse 1]
In dreams I can rule your life
With me nothing's ever right
Sing for me up on a stage
Keep your mind trapped in a cage
I'm your man, I'm what you need
Dance with me, but never lead
One deep breath will set me free
Don't you fucking look at me

[Pre-Chorus]
You know that I am
One fucking well-dressed man

[Chorus]
Now it's dark, but I can see
Don't you fucking look at me
Now it's dark, you're gonna be
Exactly what I want to see
Now it's dark, Mommy
Don't you fucking look at me
A sensation of elation, intoxication
Now it's dark

[Verse 2]
A candy-coated existence
Underneath is decadence
What was hidden you have found
Made it your own battleground
Pretty, pretty, don't say please
Don't you fucking look at me

[Pre-Chorus]
You know that I am
One fucking well-dressed man

[Chorus]
Now it's dark, but I can see
Don't you fucking look at me
Now it's dark, you're gonna be
Exactly what I want to see
Now it's dark, Mommy
Don't you fucking look at me
A sensation of elation, intoxication
Now it's dark

[Bridge]
Ow!
Listen
I'll send you a love letter
Straight from the bottom of my heart
And you'll be fucked forever
The candy-coated clown has done his part

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 4]
I'm your man, I'm what you need
Dance with me, but never lead
One deep breath will set me free
Don't you fucking look at me

[Pre-Chorus]
You know that I am
One fucking well-dressed man

[Chorus]
Now it's dark, but I can see
Don't you fucking look at me
Now it's dark, you're gonna be
Exactly what I want to see
Now it's dark, Mommy
Don't you fucking look at me
A sensation of elation, intoxication
Now it's dark

Now it's dark
Ow!
Now it's dark
