Threw myself on the floor Chasing time at the door Half-past nine, self-control Place your heart on the go [ Chorus ] Nights will mourn And I'm sleeping on the better debt of day Like the rising off They won't need me till tomorrow Night that claims the sky Forever dreams of a better day Half-past nine, rise at four A pain in my heart after all Casting and iron, self-control A pain in my heart after all Don't let go ( Chorus ) Night that claims the sky Forever dreams of a better day And you say you'll be around
