Lyrics and translation

Original

Surprise!

I'm just two little boys in a trench coat with plastic knives

I'm scared and I don't want to grow up

I only feel alive at night so during the day I cover my eyes

Surprise!

I've been so many boys in this trench coat

Ask my ex-wife - she met Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide

(I know that should be a "Y" but none of my "Whys" ever get answered)

Under bad moons I'm a bad bone

I've got some bad news - I only feel alive when I'm alone

I lost my way in the dark

Precious time

My moral line

I lost everything in the dark

Friends for life

A wilted wife

And every last one of my sharp knives

I lost my mind in the dark

I told all my lies in the dark

I poured my drinks in the dark

I explored new kinks in the dark

I found every vein in the dark

I hid my shame in the dark

I got turned on in the dark

I was so far gone in the dark

I bit my tongue in the dark

I collapsed a lung in the dark

I held my breath in the dark

I welcomed death in the dark

I slit my wrists in the dark

I didn't exist in the dark until I found you in the dark
