A Night Like This

Little did I know when I was digging his grave, I was also digging my own
He had these piercing blue eyes, pierce you right down to the bone
She took out a pen and paper, and the words took a life of their own
And that's the problem right there, it took on a life of its own

I knew it would come to this, and now it has and I'm so sad
My life before was heaven and bliss
Mary Shelley had a night like this

He had these piercing blue eyes, pierce you right down to the bone
He had these piercing blue eyes, as he broke bone after bone after bone after bone
I'd often wondered what would happen if he took it as far as he could
And just gave it one little push
Take it to the limit, take it as far as you can, and just give it one little push

I knew it would come to this, and now it has and I'm so sad
My life before was heaven and bliss
Mary Shelley had a night like this

Well, she was out to rearrange things, but she took it a little bit too far I guess
Well, she had the best of intentions. I mean, she meant well
But sometimes good people do bad things
Sometimes they just can't help it
Sometimes it's beyond their control, but at least she meant well

I knew it would come to this, and now it has and I'm so sad
My life before was heaven and bliss
Mary Shelley had a night like this
