Midnight and autumn leaves are turning brown
Night light, I look to find you not around and
The wind blows scorn into the face of fools
Who break hearts and turn their back on love, that's true

But I don't want to forget the little things you do
God knows I never meant to be untrue
Now I'm waiting for the day
You'll be back in my arms to stay

As an angel of mercy falls from above
They get torn apart by the things they love
God knows, look at where I've ended up
In a pack of wild sinners searching for a holy cup

Horoscope, I read it in the evening news
As morning broke, I pulled it from the refuse
On my way home and in the great grey city dawn
A warning rung in my head with a fire alarm it said

Alright, you've been treating this as a dress rehearsal for life
The time for a complete reversal is tonight
I put away childish things and telephoned long distance
And it rings, rings, rings

As an angel of mercy falls from above
They get torn apart by the things they love
God knows, look at where I've ended up
In a pack of wild sinners searching for a holy cup
In a pack of wild sinners searching for a holy cup
