“It is actually about a woman who is so ugly that the only time she can get laid is during the night, so she tends to run around with other monsters. She always leaves before the sun rises because you might not want to ever come back if you see her during the day.”
-Ronnie James Dio
I'm all right, I'm crossing over
I just shot the sun
One more night, black as heaven
So no one saw the gun
Running with monsters in shadows
And monsters always know
It's better in the dark
Oh she's all right, tall and handsome
If the lights are down
Gone by dawn, takes no chances
Might come back around
Clutching to monsters in shadows
And monsters always know
It's better in the dark
I'm all right, I'm crossing over
I can disappear, gone
Clutching to monsters in shadows
And monsters always know
It's better in the dark
Better in the dark
I just shot the sun
