[Verse 1]
I gave my soul to you
Laid my whole life in the palm of your hands
Took on the world for you
You and I had the future all planned
But behind the walls and barricades
That you put up to keep us safe
I died, we died
In the shelter of the night
[Chorus]
Out of the dark tonight
My straitjacket is off, my freedom is won
Out of the dark tonight
Leaving behind everything but the sun
Out of the dark
[Verse 2]
I'd walk the wire for you
Pick the stars from the sky for you, for us
But I couldn’t smell the fuel
Till you lit the fire and burned it all up
Like a vampire feeding off my life
To keep me hostagе from my life
Though I tried and I tried
Onе of us had to die
[Chorus]
Out of the dark tonight
My straitjacket is off, my freedom is won
Out of the dark tonight
Leaving behind everything but the sun
Out of the dark
[Post-Chorus]
Out of the dark
[Bridge]
Out of the dark
And into the light tonight
Leaving the dark behind
I tried, I tried
But one of us had to die
One of us had to die
One of us had to die
[Chorus]
Out of the dark tonight
My straitjacket is off, my freedom is won
Out of the dark tonight
Leaving behind everything but the sun
Out of the dark tonight
My straitjacket is off, my freedom is won
Out of the dark
