Are you running for or from enemies or subtleties There's such verve, such nerve So you send them all away Let them wait for the sake of waiting They're disappearing You're disappointing (Don't wait up) (Embracing alarm bells) (Will do you no good) (Will do you no good) No analogy can explain the resentment laid You're just desperate It easily echoes here And you can't put it all to rest Certain voices come to stress Your wit won't save you Your wit will fail you (Don't wait up) (Embracing alarm bells) (Will do you no good) (Will do you no good) You never will be born again Certainly be torn again Hexed by petty ghosts of old And the silence of the devil's choir Left you wholly uninspired Hexed by petty ghosts of old Could the sirens be your wake-up call The sleep you think is wonderful Hexed by petty ghosts of old Will you run to the darkest corner Wish everything was gone and Stay hexed by ghosts of old (Don't wait up) (Embracing alarm bells) (Will do you no good) (Will do you no good) (Will do you no good) (Will do you no good) (Will do you no good)
