Verse 1

Comin' on to the light of day, we got

Many moons that are deep at play so I

Keep an eye on the shadow smile to see what it has to say

You and I both know, everything must go away

Ah, what do you say?

Spinnin' knot that is on my heart is like a

Bit of light in a touch of dark, you got

Sneak attack from the zodiac but I see your fire spark

Eat the breeze and go, blow by blow and go away

Oh, what do you say? Yeah

Chorus

You don't know my mind, you don't know my kind

Dark necessities are part of my design and

Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky

Dark necessities are part of my design

Verse 2

Stumble down to the parking lot, you got

No time for the afterthought, they're like

Ice Cream for an Astronaut, well, that's me looking for we

Turn the corner and find the world at your command

Playin' the hand, yeah

Chorus

You don't know my mind, you don't know my kind

Dark necessities are part of my design

Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky

Dark necessities are part of my design

Bridge

Do you want this love of mine? Darkness helps us all to shine

Do you want it, do you want it now?

Do you want it all the time? But darkness helps us all to shine

Do you want it, do you want it now?

Verse 3

Ah, pick you up like a paperback with the

Track record of a maniac so I

Move it in and we unpack, it's the same as yesterday

Any way we roll, everything must go away

Oh, what do you say? Yeah

Chorus

You don't know my mind, you don't know my kind

Dark necessities are part of my design

Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky and

Dark necessities are part of my design
