Cover up
Cover up tight
Your time is coming like a thief in the night
Your bones will feel like they're full of broken glass
Your soul will feel like it's been to hell and back

Paint your face pale jungle green
When the world turns to the sun you won't be seen
When you can hear the sound of the wind in your ears
What seems like minutes will really be years

The town cryer can't stop the front page
There's a grandfather clock and his hands are full of rage
As the pendulum swings and swings
He won't be satisfied until he's taken everything
Like a Thief in the Night

Cover up
Cover up now
You couln't change it if you wanted anyhow
The time is going by oh so fast
How long do you think that you can last?

The town cryer can't stop the front page
There's a grandfather clock and his hands are full of rage
As the pendulum swings and swings
He won't be satisfied until he's taken everything
Like a Thief in the Night
