[Verse]
AStumble on to the pavement; F#mthey're strapped tight to bed
They've got a Bmfetish for sheep, straitjacket sheets
But EI've got Randy Newman in E/G#my heAad
This is no corn-fed day, it's F#mgloomy, blue, and cold
So leF#m/At the Bmmuggings occur, I feel secure
They Esay that I'm peculiar
[Chorus]
And Doh I don't F#mknow, I don't Ecare
I'll be Ewaiting for you Dthere
Crave this F#mchill, bathe in Eblack
All the ghouls and fiends attackD  
Knees go F#mweak, and I Eswoon, underneath the pallid Dmoon
Praise the F#mnight, oh, praise the Enight
The only Etime I feel alAright
[Verse]
AUnder the sun gods stare, I F#mwince and blossom hives
Counting the Bmfractions of day, rotting away
As Ebusinessmen just drink away their Alives
But when the stars once shy, come F#mbloom and blanket earth
I feel beBmloved and blessed, quite Byron-esque
I Eneed to just get off my chest that, oh
[Chorus]
And Doh I don't F#mknow, I don't Ecare
I'll be Ewaiting for you Dthere
Crave this F#mchill, bathe in Eblack
All the ghouls and fiends attackD  
Eyes eF#mrupt, and I Eswoon, underneath the pallid Dmoon
Praise the F#mnight, oh, praise the Enight
The only Etime I feel alAright
[Solo]
A F#m Bm E
AOoF#mh...Bm  E  
[Chorus]
And Doh I don't F#mknow, I don't Ecare
I'll be Ewaiting for you Dthere
Crave this F#mchill, bathe in Eblack
All the ghouls and fiends attackD  
Head comF#mbusts, and I Eswoon, underneath the pallid Dmoon
Praise the F#mnight, oh, praise the Enight
The only Etime I feel alAright
