Writing on the Wall

Peace lies in the night
Eternal darkness and shelter from the light
Living's for the brave and I was too afraid
To face another day

I crept to the ledge, needless to say
Tremblin' from the pain
Well, something in the night
Cut me like a knife
The writing on the wall

Oh, Edgar Allen Poe
I never read your books
I never took a look
Down dark and dampened halls
The writing on the walls of Edgar Allen Poe

Oh, Marilyn Monroe
You had to changе your name
You couldn't stand the pain
Of being Norma Jеan
I wish you coulda seen
The writing on the wall

Oh, the rainbow girl is gone now
How we miss her
And she vanished like a dream
And all the little boys standin' on the corner
Singin' accapella and shufflin' their feet

Teach the ones that you love
That nothing's forever, nothing's forever
Try and make them brave
And teach them how to save
The memories they'll cherish

Peace lives in the night
But we're strangers forever
We're strangers forever
Lovers learn to crawl
There's something for us all
The writing on the wall

Oh, Edgar Allen Poe
I never read your books
I never took a look
Down dark and dampened halls
The writing on the walls of Edgar Allen Poe

Oh, Marilyn Monroe
You had to change your name
You couldn't stand the pain
Of being Norma Jean
I wish you woulda seen
The writing on the wall
