My Name Is The Night (Color Me Black) - Brian Fallon

Can you give me something?

Tonight, I’m so alone

The moon is upside down

Hanging on a telephone

But I remember every little bad dream

Every pretty slow dance

So can I pick you up later?

(When your temperature’s better)

If you need a little shelter

(Be your cool operator)

Keep it all quiet, yeah

(Just a little while)

Let the night wind you down, baby, down

And she smiles, how 'bout that?

I was just about to jump before you called me back

And you know the pain comes home

And the whispers come to call me in my bed when I’m alone

And I’ve lost so much more than I ever had

Now my name is the night, honey, color me black

C-color me black

Can I take you somewhere?

Would it make a difference?

Like pretty roses on a deathbed

But I remember, in your white dress

In your mama’s hands

So can I pick you up later?

(When your temperature’s better)

If you need a little shelter

(Be your cool operator)

Keep it all quiet, yeah

(Just a little while)

Let the night wind us down, baby, down

And she smiles, how 'bout that?

I was just about to jump before you called me back

And you know the pain comes home

And the whispers come to call me in my bed when I’m alone

And I’ve lost so much more than I ever had

Now my name is the night, honey, color me black

C-color me black

And how long, how long

Until you believe that part of me is gone?

With your sweet, naive kiss

Well I used to feel the same until I let the darkness in

And it cost me nothing, baby

Nah, nothing more than this

Nothing more than this useless heart in my chest

Nothing that I needed, nothing I regret

Nothing that I needed, and I’d do it all again

I’d do it all again

And she smiles, how 'bout that?

I was just about to jump before you called me back

But you know the pain comes home

And the whispers come to call me in my bed when I’m alone

Singing, «Ooh, not just yet»

When I go, I’ll be going out in flames and fiery wrecks

And the quiet to me, such an ominous sound

Said my name is the nighttime now

Yes, the quiet to me, such an ominous sound

And my name is the night, honey, color me black
