A       E          F#m
Ah, the lengthening hours in the refinery
D           Bm6/E
Belching fire into the sky
A             E     F#m
We do our best vampire routines
D                Bm6/E
As we suck the dying hours dry
 
Bm                            A Em A Em
The night is lovely as a rose
C
If I see sunlight hit you
     D                   Bm6/E
I am sure that we'll both decompose
 
A  E  A  E  A  E  F#m  D  A  B4(6)  Bm6
 
A       E          F#m
Ah, the fitful sleep and the fire engines
D               Bm6/E
That I dream of when I dream
A          E            F#m
Someday we'll both wake up for good
D              Bm6/E
I will try hard not to scream
 
Bm                                     A Em A Em
The evening wind will shake the blinds
C
You're stirring from your slumber
D                           Bm6/E
We've got something hateful on our minds
 
A         E     F#m
Oh, sing, sing, sing
D                  Bm6/E
For the dying of the day
A             E                F#m
Sing for the flames that will rip through here
D                    Bm6/E
And the smoke that will carry us away
 
A                   E                F#m
Yeah, sing for the damage we've done
        D                         Bm6/E
And the worse things that we'll do
A             E                F#m
Open your mouth up and sing for me now
D                    Bm6/E
And I will sing for you
