I used to fear the darkness when I was a child Hiding in the shadows, lay the devil with a smile Wicked world outside my door would keep me up at night Living by moonlight Daddy taught to fear the Lord above Do your dealings by the day under the safety of the sun But I've been living by moonlight Wishing on stars We're in the midnight Hiding our scars Sipping on poison Breathing in fire Slowly killing myself Just to feel alive Honky tonk goblins and some baroom ghouls Neon vampires sitting on bar stools The wrong side of the tracks will leave my brain wild out cold Turned into monsters when they close out at four Sirens sing "Give me just one night" Tapping on my door with a green glass pipe Living by moonlight Wishing on stars We're in the midnight Hiding our scars Sipping on poison Breathing in fire Slowly killing ourselves Just to feel alive Living by moonlight Wishing on stars Cursing the midnight Hating the dark Sipping on poison Breathing in fire Slowly killing myself Just to feel alive Living by moonlight Wishing on stars Living by moonlight Sipping on poison Breathing in fire Slowly killing myself Slowly killing myself Just to feel alive
