Lyrics

Well, we walk against the world and our heads are bended low -
Every impure word or deed absorbed just like a blow
Making sure to justify our motives are correct
Keep on movin? - keep on doin? ?
It will help you to forget.
Like a vampire, like a thief
When the twilight shifts -
Draw the Curtain, block the light
It?ll help you to exist.
Keep on movin?, keep on doin??
Make yourself another list
Draw the Curtain, block the light
Privacy is such a gift.

There?s yearning, a desire - for similarity
For the evidence of purpose and the need for harmony
And it?s often such an effort just to be and just to live
Don?t be angry, don?t be hasty
It?ll help you to forgive.
Like a vampire, like a thief
When the twilight shifts -
Draw the Curtain, block the light
Privacy is such a gift
Keep on movin? and doin?
Make a list -
Draw the curtain, block the light
Privacy is such a gift.

And if there?s pain - stay with it?
For it will go away.
And if it hurts - you gotta live it?
Oh, yeah, you gotta live it?
Anyway.
Oh, yeah, you gotta live it, anyway.

So I?m walkin? against this world and my head is always bended low..
Every impure word or deed absorbed just like a blow.
Making sure to justify my motives are correct -
I keep on movin?, I keep on doin??it?ll help me to forget.
Like a vampire - Like a thief ?
Gonna Draw the Curtain, block the light -
It will give me some relief.
I won?t be angry. Gonna make a list.
Draw the Curtain, block the light - it?ll help me to exist
Draw the Curtain, block the light - privacy is such a gift
Gonna Draw the Curtain. Gonna Draw the Curtain.
