When you’re born
Are you ever warned
The wild spring storms
That hit you from the sky?
As you grow
Do you ever know
Why years go slow
But summer rushes by?
When you’re old
Are you ever told
How freezing cold
The autumn breezes bite?
As you die
Do you wonder why
You’re left to lie
Through lonely winter nights?
You haven’t seen my dark side yet
The kind of dream you don’t forget
You want to know what happens next?
I’m going to show you now
Late night schemes
To keep away my dreams
And what they mean
If I read them right
Meet the sun
Now five o’clock has come
See what I’ve done
In early morning light
Head confused
With alcohol and blues
The midnight news
Is yesterday’s goodbye
Sweat and shake
And force yourself awake
The more you take
The less you wonder why
You haven’t seen my dark side yet
The kind of dream you don’t forget
The big surprise you don’t expect
The kind of thrill you won’t regret
You haven’t seen my dark side yet
The kind of dream you don’t forget
The kind of trick you can’t expect
You want to know what happens next?
When you’re born
Are you ever warned?
As you grow
Do you ever know?
When you’re old
Are you ever told?
As you die
Do you wonder why?
Scream and shout
Let it all come out
It’s just about
The things I’d rather hide
Twist and sway
Through the dead-end day
Chase it away
Right to the other side
Through the haze
I try to find my way
Go out to play
My solitary games
Reach so low
And hope it doesn’t show
Know where to go
To find my secret shame
You haven’t seen my dark side yet
The kind of dream you don’t forget
The big surprise you don’t expect
The kind of thrill you won’t regret
You want to know what happens next?
The kind of trick you can’t expect
You haven’t seen my dark side yet
You’re going to see it now
