""Strange nights are here to stay
Don't know what to do with my days anyway
And can I persuade you to stay
You're always in such a rush to go away
Strange nights are here again
Try to forget that the sword is mightier than the pen
Just let me finish my fifth of gin
While I try to mend the latest rift between old friends
Strange nights, strange nights don't start off that way
A sucker punch to the gut or to the face
Strange nights, strange nights strange nights strange nights
I wanna wake up to a healing light
Strange nights, come out to play
Black city sirens always seem so far away
Let me finish what I'm trying to say
Before you take off in a fit of "leave it for another day"
Strange nights, strange nights don't start off that way
A sucker punch to the gut or to the face
Strange nights, strange nights strange nights strange nights
I wanna wake up to a healing light""
