How I hate the night

My exams are four days away. My indifference hasn't budged one bit. My days are vacuously empty, huge yawning pits of nothingness. I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise that I have a terrible case of insomnia and a worse case of the consequent tireds. I've been spending my nights watching terrible movies, comforting myself with the thought that once I eventually get back to work this lifestyle of Jennifer Aniston, dreamy vampire boyfriends and foot-high fonts will automatically become something to yearn for. Nevertheless, I'm going to agree with Marvin's magnum opus 'How I hate the night.'

Now the world has gone to bed
Darkness won't engulf my head
I can see by infra-red
How I hate the night

Now I lay me down to sleep
Try to count electric sheep
Sweet dream wishes you can keep
How I hate the night


Lethargic kisses,
Murphy

...I wonder what they were smoking when they wrote these lyrics?

That night her kiss told me it was over
I walked out late into the dark
The misty gloom seems to soak up my sorrow
The further I went on
I felt a spreading calm
Then suddenly my eyes were bathed in light
And the lovely lady in white was by my side
She said like me I see youre walking alone
Wont you please stay?
I couldnt look away

She said
I love the night
The day is ok and the sun can be fun but I live
To see those rays slip away
I love the night
Theres so much I can show and give to you
If you will welcome me tonight

If only you had been there my dear
We could have shared this together

No mortal was meant to know such wonder
One look in the mirror told me so
Come darkness Ill see her again
Yes Im gonna go
cause now I know

I love the night
The day is ok and the sun can be fun but I live
To see those rays slip away

I love the night
I love the night
I love the night
