Nite And Fog Lyrics - Mercury Rev

If God moves across the water 

Then the girl moves in other ways 

And I, losing sight of either 

Nite and fog are my days 

I wanted only to be gentle 

But I gave her jealousy and rage 

Who knows exactly what I'm after? 

Nite and fog are my days 

Wise men want fame 

Fools want gold 

Sailors want water 

But you want it all 

I tried to guide my love by starlight 

And soon my life became a maze 

Osiris and orion were your favorites 

Nite and fog are my days 

Vampires want darkness 

Monsters want souls 

Spiders want corners 

But you want it all 

She turns, half in to find me naked 

But I can see she wants me in other ways 

In the dark I've driven her to madness 

Nite and fog are my days 

I hope you see your ship come in 

May it find you and never lose its way 

But I would make a poor captain 

Nite and fog are my days 

Vampires want darkness 

Monsters want souls 

Spiders want corners 

But you want it all 

But you want it all 

But you want it all
