I gave my soul to you Laid my whole life in the palm of your hands Took on the world for you You and I had the future all planned But behind the walls and barricades That you put up to keep us safe I died. We died. In the shelter of the night Out of the dark tonight My straight jacket is off My freedom is won Out of the dark tonight Leaving behind everything But the sun Out of the dark tonight I'd walk the wire for you Pick the stars from the sky for you, For us But I couldn't smell the fuel Til you lit the fire And burned it all up Like a vampire feeding of my life To keep me hostage from my life And though I tried, and I tried One of us had to die Out of the dark tonight My straight jacket is off My freedom is won Out of the dark tonight Leaving behind everything But the sun Out of the dark Out of the dark Out of the dark And into the light tonight Leaving the dark behind I tried Yeah I tried But one of us had to die One of us had to die One of us had to die Out of the dark tonight My straight jacket is off My freedom is won Out of the dark tonight Leaving behind everything But the sun Out of the dark tonight My straight jacket is off My freedom is won Out of the dark
