  • Don't waste my time with changes
    I'm living my life left
    Every semblance of hope in his life
    Surrenders to this pain
    So I embrace the darkness
    'Cause it's always there

    Give me an open fire
    Blazes in your eyes
    Burns right through the night (open fire)
    I could live nocturnally
    I could live without daylight (open fire)
    Give me a hug on a sheepskin rug
    Tell me that we'll never part (Open fire)
    Open fire, on my heart(open fire)

    The world's got a dark side
    Every day it turns
    But the sun only shines occasionally and when it does it burns
    I am not a enlightened
    Everybody knows

    Give me an open fire
    Blazes in your eyes
    Burns right through the night (open fire)
    I could live nocturnally
    I could live without daylight (open fire)
    Give me a hug on a sheepskin rug
    Tell me that we'll never part (open fire)
    Open fire, on my heart (open fire)

    Give me an open fire
    Blazes in your eyes
    Burns right through the night (open fire)
    I could live nocturnally
    I could live without daylight (open fire)
    Give me a hug on a sheepskin rug
    Tell me that we'll never part (open fire)
    Open fire, on my heart (open fire) Writer/s: DANIEL HAWKINS, FRANCIS PATTERSON, JUSTIN HAWKINS

  • Todd G. from BostonHuge error here that needs correction, Ed Graham was not the bassist for The Darkness during his brief stint in the band. He was the drummer from 2005 - 2006. The bassist at the time of The Last of Our Kind recordings is Frankie Poullain, who was one of the original members of the band before he left in 2005, but rejoined when the band reformed in 2011 and has been a steadfast member since. [Fixed, thank you. -editor]
