Rebel of the Night Songtext
von The Gardener and the Tree

I got snakes under my bedroom
I got grass on my old floor
It′s got cracks and it's got holes, the spiders know

I was scared of open windows
I was scared of growing old
So I never told nobody, so no one knows

And the rain, it sounds like thunder
Underneath that old tin roof
All those pans and all those buckets made it waterproof

I was scared of bringing the trash out
Always scared of what could be in the dark
So I never quit my singing, never turned my head

And I′m thankful for forgiveness
Even though my heart's a mess
And I just never called you over when you're lonely
′Cause I′m a disgrace


Black out, oh black out my head
I'm glad I didn′t run away instead
But I can't call you lover, call you rebel
Call you all the things I never had

And I said love me the way, there′s no night in my day
If it's so, I might as well just stay
And I just called you lover, called you rebel
More than I had ever did before

And I blacked out my head like a mood in the mess
I don′t wanna call out in the dark
And I just watched you while you're fighting
With the rebel of the night and I'm afraid

I got snakes under my bedroom
I got grass on my old floor
It′s got cracks and it′s got holes, the spiders know

I was scared of open windows
I was scared of growing old
So I never told nobody, so no one knows

And the rain, it sounds like thunder
Underneath that old tin roof
All those pans and all those buckets made it waterproof


I was scared of bringing the trash out
Always scared of what could be in the dark
So I never quit my singing, never turned my head

And I'm thankful for forgiveness
Even though my heart′s a mess
And I just never called you over when you're lonely
′Cause I'm a disgrace

And I was calling it fair
′Cause I believed in the mess
I just lost all my reason there
Because I wasn't prepared

Damn, I just called it a home
'Cause I needed it anyway
Yeah, I was scared of the fear
But I got used to it anyway
