Lyrics Long Is the Night - Moriarty

Long is the night
Long as the shame of the man
Who can't manage to die long
Under the lamppost his naked eye swing
And his eye, blind with the breath of Gin
And the smell of a blond girl's wet flesh under his nails
Oh God, how long is the night

Must they drag the sky away
Let the earth not lead me on
Must they drag the sky away
And lay me long in stillness
Long in stillness for night
Oh how long is the night
Deliver me from this night

It happened on a Friday
My life ran on with fasting
The air oozed vapours of lemon
And the fishbone stuck into my craw

When out of the gutted fish I lifted
A ring which cast for at the time of my birth
Fell in river at night

Fell in river at night
Where it sank I threw it back to the night
Copy paste is a sin, always on the run is better
Must they drag the sky away
Let the earth not lead me on
Must they drag the sky away
And lay me long in stillness
Long in stillness for night
Oh how long is the night
Deliver me from this night
