Silverchair - Across the Night Lyrics

Artist: Silverchair

Album: Diorama

  • Songwriters: Daniel Johns

Across the night, it was the moon that stole my slumber
Across the night, I fell in love with people sleeping

I fell tired, asleep in a golden ocean
Your eyes perspired, a spike in my fascination
I don't mean to make you cry
But this feeling will run right through the night
And I'll only make you cry with these feelings

Across the night, it was the moon that stole my slumber
Across the night, I fell in love with people sleeping
Across the night, across the night
Across the night, I hugged a man's arthritic shoulder

Sleepless, untamed without a leash on the light around me
I don't mean to make you cry
But this feeling will run right through the night
And I'll only make you cry with these feelings

Across the night, it was the moon that stole my slumber
Across the night, I fell in love with people sleeping
Across the night, across the night
Across the night, I hugged a man's arthritic shoulder
I hugged a man's arthritic shoulder

So let us be married and have another baby
'Cause I don't wanna be lonely I just wanna be alone
Yeah let's just get married shouting baby, baby, babies
Oh, you'll never sleep at all, I don't wanna be lonely
Oh, you'll never sleep at all, I don't wanna be lonely
I just wanna be alone

Never seen the sunshine
From higher points than sunrise
I don't wanna be lonely
Never seen the sunshine
From higher points than sunrise
I don't wanna be lonely
I just wanna be alone
