You’re no ordinary girl
My mind is in a whirl
You are the night of the world

The sun is sinking like a tomb
Giving light unto the moon
Like a bride hiding from a groom

And I am left here with my mind
To strip and rob me blind
My hands tied up in a bind

You’re no ordinary girl
My mind is in a whirl
You are the night of the world

The night is the time for escapees
To crawl through prison sewers on their knees
Then outside, gone in the night’s breeze

The night is a place of real politics
The mind is up to its old tricks
It just can’t wait to get its fix

You’re no ordinary girl
My mind is in a whirl
You are the night of the world
Come take over me
If day ever comes, you can set me free
It's almost so dark I can hardly see

You’re no ordinary girl
My mind is in a whirl
You are the night of the world
