Crack of Dawn Songtext
von Richard Hell & the Voidoids

I′m speaking to myself one night and then it's gone like all the rest
A victim of a chapter like a student′s timelessness
Somewhere re-in-re-inventing all the east and west
When night applies the brakes until the whole place cracks
So let the daylight out and in but just to see the facts
There in the break the door to all the time holds back


I fear I am imagining that such a thing can really be
I know it can't, it's all made up or anyway concealed from me
Help me ′cause I need you desperately, so primitively
I need to feel your kiss, I need a chance to spin
My energy imagining it wouldn′t end up thin
Then you will get back twice, the soulful thing you mend

I want to slip into the break of crack of dawn, why?
To meet the funny friends that look like they got drawn by
Me, if only I could draw

I fear I am imagining that such a thing can really be
I know it's all made up or anyway concealed from me
Help me ′cause I need you desperately, so primitively
I need to feel your kiss, I need a chance to spin
My energy imagining it wouldn't end up thin
Then you will get back twice, the soulful thing you mend


I want to slip into the break of crack of dawn, why?
To meet the funny friends that look like they got drawn by
Me, if only I could draw
