Sam Himself - "Nothing Like the Night" (lyrics)

Someone’s words tumbleweed through the desert in your skull
Above the blinds the ceiling’s stained by the pasty light of dawn
Once again the big black bird came home to roost on this scarecrow
A bell’s ringing time for church you can’t get up you can’t make the door

Cause you can’t take it far enough
Find a cure or taste the blood
It’s something like the night that lies that way

But you can’t break if you don’t stop
Too fast to crash too high to drop
There’s just nothing like the night to take you there
Take you down

A stranger’s face twisted in knots pale and shiny like a doll's
Looks back at you through the glass of a crazed one-way-window
With flaring eyes and grating jaws that don’t know what they’re hungry for
Blue blades for veins to drain what’s left like dirty water from a tub

You can’t take it far enough
Find the cure or taste the blood
It’s something like the night that lies that way

But you can’t break if you don’t stop
Too fast to crash too high to drop
There's just nothing like the night to take you there

So here’s to the brink
One more time with feeling
This cage of broken limbs
If you wanna know it’s yours make it hurt
If you wanna know it’s yours make it hurt
