Black Night Lyrics by The Dodos

No Color

2011

[Verse 1]
Black night, blackness
When I wanted you, how I haunted you
All to myself
One gift, one slip
Where you hiding at, who you're aiming at
Won't kiss and tell
Control yourself
I don't want it to, I don't need it to
Can someone else?
Counting until
When you're heading to, cause your attitude
Turned on itself
[Verse 2]
Kind heart, kindness
Where you going to, are you going through
Heaven or hell?
Won't slip, won't miss
When I'm onto you, send it over to
Your faith and will
Control yourself
I don't want it to, I don't need it to
Contain itself
Counting until
It was never that, I was aiming at
Being someone else
Ha! (x8)
[Bridge]
You want it all, you want to walk
You want to walk right through it!
You had it all, you had it all
You had it all—you threw it!
You want it all, you want to walk
You want to walk right through it!
You had it all, you had it all
You had it all—you threw it!
[Verse 3]
Black night, blackness
When I wanted you, how I haunted you
All to myself
One kiss, one slip
Where you going to, are you going through, heaven or hell?
Control yourself
I don't want it to, I don't need it to
Can someone else?
Counting until
When you need it to, cause your attitude
Turn on itself
[Bridge]
You want it all, you want to walk
You want to walk right through it!
You had it all, you had it all
You had it all—you threw it!
You want it all, you want to walk
You want to walk right through it!
You had it all, you had it all
You had it all—you threw it!
