mr. darkside

is it just a cope to have hope?
these days I feel the creep of a fatalistic streak
struck dumb as the screen goes dim
like a shark swimming without fins at the whims of an ocean black with oil
watch it roil bubble and boil cracked we toil in sunless slime
I wonder if we'll make it alive
sing me a chorus blow a little sunshine

on the bright side there's a dark side on the dark side there's a sun beam a lonely sun beam warms the blood stream blink your black eyes open with me

take the mezzanine down
keep your sunglasses on when you're checking out of the grand hellworld hotel put on a smile and ring the bell

on the bright side there's a dark side on the dark side there's a sun beam a lonely sun beam warms the blood stream blink your black eyes open with me

came to break that cloud came to break that big cloud down

on the bright side there's a dark side on the dark side there's a sun beam a lonely sun beam warms the blood stream blink your black eyes open with me
