On Nights Like Tonight Lyrics

On nights like tonight, when no one's around
I put on the record, the record I found
When I was a kid and the world was a town
And Heartbreaker weren't nothin' painful

Carry me, Mother Mary, I'm faithless
Like Sister Theresa canonized, faceless
The press release leaves the plagiarist nameless
And all is forgiven

On nights like tonight, when no one's around
I sit in the dark, on my hands, on the ground
And I smile like the devil smiles, unseen but proud

Truth be told, I don't know who's at the helm
Just sit tight and I will make my way to you If I'm not on time, remember that I tried

Carry me, Mother Mary, I'm faithless
Like needles in haystacks that we just replace
It's all the same monster that nobody faces
Where all is forgiven

On nights like tonight, when no one's around
I turn off the lights and float off the ground
And smile like I used to when you were around

But truth be told, I don't know who's at the helm
Just sit tight and I'll make my way to you
I'll find a way to get to you
