Transcribed by Phaedrus ([email protected]) Intro - F G F G F G Dm F F G G7
F       G           Dm
All the lengthening hours in the refinery

F               G
Belching fire into the sky

          F    G   Dm
We do our best vampire routines

      F              G7
As we suck the dying hours dry

Dm                       F G F G
The night is lovely as a rose

   F
If I see sunlight hit you

     G
I am sure that we'll both decompose
F G F G F G Dm F F G G7
F       G      Dm
All the fitful sleep and the fire engines

F               G
That I dream of when I dream

     F         G         Dm
Some day we'll both wake up for good

F               G7
I will try hard not to scream

Dm                              F G F G
The evening wind will shake the blinds

       F
You're stirring from your slumber

          G
We've got something hateful on our minds

   F    G    Dm
Oh sing sing sing

        F            G
For the dying of the day

F            G                Dm
Sing for the flames that will rip through here

        F                     G7
And the smoke that will carry us away

    F            G            Dm
And sing for the damage we've done

        F                       G
And the worse things that we'll do

F         G            Dm
Open your mouth up and sing for me now

    F               G
And I will sing for you
