Dark Side Songtext
von Howlin Rain

There you stood in a mosaic doorway
Just out of the rain on a winter Monday
None of your street men or dealers around
Just you and me and a quiet sound

The cold rain on the awning crawling the gutters to the ground

I was meant to be with a doctor′s child
A good blond girl with a benevolent smile
And spend my teenage years with my future bride
Dancing in halls beneath grim fluorescent lights

But those times were from another life of mine...

Show me the dark side Jackie Marie
God knows what I'm running from but I feel so free
Show me the black behind your fatalist smile
There′s no coming back after a while


Something in the wind shaking this lean-to's spine
And the way your eyes stay afire through the pills and cheap wine
Lay down your weapons, your anger, your devil's guile
And hold my body like a lonely child

Oh you are fond of the gentle taste of death, as am I

Show me the dark side Jackie Marie
God knows what we′re running from but I feel so free
Show me the black behind your fatalist smile
There′s no turning back after a while...

Show me the dark side, Jackie
Show me the dark side, Jackie Marie
Show me the dark side, Jackie
Show me the dark side, Jackie Marie

There's no going back after a while
You can never go back... after a while
