Lyrics
THE DARK BEFORE THE DAWN
Hermit crab sits in his lab
With his chemicals and test tubes.
The three antisocial graces
Are painting his windows black.
He's drowning in the sea of his square roots.
Oh, oh, oh, that boy needs to get a life,
Put him out there in the spotlight.
Give him a shot or two of composure.
All he needs is a little exposure.
Can't you see it's just the dark before the dawn.
Twinkle toes danced in the dark
With her phonograph and tutu
Holy virgin mothers
Lay guilt at her tender feet.
She's tripping over footsteps of the past.
Oh, oh, oh, that girl needs to get a life.
Put her out there in the spotlight.
Give her a shot or two of composure.
All she needs is a little exposure.
Can't you see it's just the dark before the dawn.
There are angels in your head
Journeys in your dreams
There's a world of light behind the door.
Shine! Shine!
Can you see it's just the dark before the dawn.
Dream in a world of light.
