Swallowed by the Night Songtext
von The Floating Men

She seems so tangled and wild
Me, am I too wide-eyed and mild
She might not think so, I′ve been around you know
She sets the smoke overhead all aglow with the lights in her eyes

She parts the underground sea
And weaves through the elbows and knees
She might be solo, too shy to ever know
Please, I can't breathe with her inches away from me ordering wine

And she might be lazy
Might be the kind to sleep in a coffin all-day
But if I′m so crazy
How come she makes tomorrow seem so far away

Wake me up, I think I'm falling falling falling
Well I give up, I think I'm falling falling falling
If I′m not crawling home by morning
I was swallowed by the night
Swallowed by the night


She′s damp from dancing alone
Please, have I been down here too long
She might be lonely, she might just need room to breathe
She faintly smells of patchouli and leather
And sweat and I'm losing my mind

And she might be lazy
Might be the kind to sleep in a coffin all-day
But if I′m so crazy
How come she makes the music seem so far away

Wake me up (hey), I think I'm falling falling falling
Well I give up (hey), I think I′m falling falling falling
If I'm not crawling home by morning, I was swallowed by the night
(Hey, hey)I think I′m falling falling falling
Well I give up, (Hey, hey), I think I'm falling, falling, falling
If I'm not crawling home by morning, I was swallowed by the night
Swallowed by the night

Hay, yah, yea, hay, yah, yea
Hay, yah, yea, hay, yah, yea
Swallowed by the night, (Hay, Yah, Yea), falling, falling
Swallowed by the night (Hay, Yah, Yea), falling, falling
