You hear me talkin'
Through the rain
But never carin'
What I'm sayin'
Strange and triumphant
You scare so easily

Take it in stride, baby
Or take it, take it to heart
Here comes Dagger now, darling
Cutting through the night

The stars are singin'
Singin' to me
They whisper something
Of frightened beauty
But what you can't hear
Is what you really need to know

Take it in stride, baby
Or take it, take it to heart
'Cause here comes Dagger now, darling
Cutting through the dark

Red is the color
Of my night
'Cause there's no other
For my life
Before I leave here
You must give me all that you owe

Take it in stride, baby
Or take it, take it to heart
'Cause there goes Dagger now, darling
Runnin' through the night
