Hello Darkness Lyrics - Singles - Ric Ocasek

The perfect picture, paper doll dream 

Hazel windows in velveteen Cadillac soul 

In the city heat, jazzy silence at your feet 

Hello darkness, goodbye sun, you're my only one 

Holy clouds, playful light, so reluctant in silent flight 

Fragile skin, stroking hands left in doubt with no demands 

Hello darkness, you are my friend, hold me till the end 

Devil cats, so black and sleek, walking down the alleyway 

So hard to meet, sweet sensation, paradoxical dream 

Curious creatures in between 

Hello darkness, my last hotel 

Sometimes it gets so hard to tell
