come on smoke won t you rise and curl to the top of the sill where the cool breeze spills now that it s dusk someone drive them off the streets let the pavements cool come on now so come on love lay your body down next to mine cause what we re longing for has withered in the light come on darkness lay your body down on us we ve been calling you for so long now we re weary of your name come on blackness let me breathe you in cause with this clattering and din we are calling you brother have you got a smoke or baby have you got a dime seems like we re all a little down on our luck baby if you re workin now out in bakersfield at some honky tonk they call the wagon wheel you feel swept and you feel rolled away so come on darkness i need you today come on blackness let me breathe you in cause with this clattering and din i am calling you come on darkness come on darkness
