"Acquainted With The Night"
Words and Music by Just A Hobby
Appears on Idle
I am acquainted with the night. I've walked a hundred streets
in darkness.
I'm the hidden face that hears you when you think there's no-one there.
I've seen the moonlit shadow's light that torments stupid beasts to madness.
I see the evidence when there's no light to blind and glare.
I know I've seen you there, too.
I know what you like to do.
I am acquainted with the night. I know the sound of utter
silence.
I've seen a million stars in heaven and I've wished on every one.
I've seen them racing down the highway trying to reach their destination.
So they can run inside and hide from a sky that has no sun.
I know I've seen you there, too.
I know what you like to do.
I am acquainted with the night. I'm in the shadow of a lampost.
Waiting for the moment I can slip out of your mind.
There's a shuffle by your doorstep and a rattle in your rooftop.
The secrets that you've buried are not too hard to find.
I know I've seen you there, too.
I know what you like to do.
