The dark side’s callin’ now, nothin’ is real  
She’ll never know just how I feel  
From out of the shadows she walks like a dream  
Makes me feel crazy, makes me feel so mean  
Ain’t nothin’ gonna save you from a love that’s blind  
When you slip to the dark side you cross that line  
On the dark side, oh yeah  
On the dark side, oh yeah

Stoned love

Who’s that dying,  
Trying for a space in the cage you call your life  
Who’s that crying  
Crying out just what it is you’ve thrown away  
it’s the. . .  
The child inside,  
The child who lives still in your eyes
