Take Back the Night Lyrics

Chorus:
Take Back The Night, Yea Right
It will never be mine
Take Back the Night, Yea Right
It will never be mine

Verse:
Take Back the panic stricken fear
Or just have it for the year
Maybe then I could
Sleep through the night
Not praying for flight
Staying alive is the fight

Explain to my eyelids why they close so rarely
Despite heavy sedation
This is living barely
Take back the unsung shame
That’s still hiding in the darkness though
I never knew your name

Chorus:
Take Back The Night, Yea Right
It will never be mine
Take Back the Night, Yea Right
It will never be mine

Verse:
Take back your laugh, your teeth
Serrated edges of a knife and in the balance hangs my life
Why don’t you hold it for a while
Explain the neverending sinking when you tell me to smile

Baby, why don’t you smile, play it safe for me
Why don’t you smile so I know for sure
What is looks like when you cry

Chorus:
Take Back The Night, Yea Right
It will never be mine
Take Back the Night, Yea Right
It will never be mine

Verse:
Take back the wrinkles from my mother’s face
The look of utter shame I could never erase

You owe me money for the shrink
It’s only fair to split the bill if you think
Take back the meds that are supposed to relax me
From the fact that you exist

Chorus:
Take Back The Night, Yea Right
It will never be mine
Take Back the Night, Yea Right
It will never be mine

BRIDGE:
Do I deserve the love or the violence
Though I live in silence in a body that’s not mine

Chorus:
Take Back The Night, Yea Right
It will never be mine
Take Back the Night, Yea Right
It will never be mine


You are nowhere to be found
Yet you are all around
