I caught the darkness It was drinking from your cup I caught the darkness from your little cup I said, Is this contagious? You said, Just drink it up. (ahh) I’ve got no future I know my days are few Ah, the present’s not that pleasant just a lot of things to do I thought the past would last me but the darkness got that too I should have seen it coming It was right behind your eyes You were young and it was summer I just had to take a dive Winning you was easy, baby, but the darkness was the prize I don’t smoke no cigarettes I don’t use the alcohol I ain’t had much lovin’ yet but that’s always been your call. Hey, I don’t miss it baby I got no taste for anything at all I used to love the rainbow and I used to love the view (ahh) I loved the early morning and I pretended it was new But I caught the darkness, baby, And I got it worse than you I caught the darkness, it was drinking from your cup I caught the darkness from your little cup I said, Is this contagious? You said, Just drink it up.
