Endless Night Graham Parker & The Rumour (Ft. Bruce Springsteen)

I had the time, but I blew it
I had the power, and I knew it
Had the energy, but outgrew it
The identity, but saw through it

Yeah

I had the walk, but got trampled
Had the taste, it was sampled
Had the engine, dismantled
Had the flame, but no candle

I can't bear to see how it all looks in the light, keep it hidden now

If I could only find a switch that turns on the endless night
That turns on the endless night
That turns on the endless night
That turns on the endless night

If there's a wire, must cross it
If there's a coin, must toss it
If it's dirt, can't wash it
It's my head, just don't cosh it

There's a door, but they shut it
We all bleed, they cut it
It's so dark when you don't fit
It's a gauntlet, you gotta run it
