"I ain't going home empty-handed" Suggests a faceless voice from the blackened void beyond It had the face of a great white and a smile of broken glass And morals as spotty as the stars against the obsidian twilight (A broken sky) Creeping under streetlights Having a good time (You'll never know You'll never know) Freedom is a vice In the dead of the moonlight (Nowhere to go Nowhere to go) Whiskey in my veins Hand over the reins Your money or your life although I believe they're one and the same My conscience bears the load As I watch the new moon glow The voice snuffed a cigarette with the heel of its boot Flagrantly flaunting the local ordinance sign "How can you have fun if you don't break a few rules?" It said Even a broken man's right twice a day Did she scream for assistance or merely into the void? The reason doesn't matter, as she received no reply This is the period when the wolves are on the prowl And the monsters are no longer kept at bay Creeping under streetlights Having a good time (You'll never know You'll never know) Freedom is a vice In the dead of the moonlight (Nowhere to go Nowhere to go) Whiskey in my veins Hand over the reins Your money or your life although I believe they're one and the same My conscience bears the load As I watch the new moon glow Watch out! It was at this moment that the heavens unloaded With precipitous timing a torrent of rain The voice briefly illuminated by the flashes of lightning Yet never drowned out by the raucous claps of thunder "There is no deliverance for you," the voice said "There are no heroes to be found here Only two types of people roam these streets Those that want, and those that get And you know which kind I am" The voice does not tell itself it's a hero It revels in its depraved and despicable debauchery Perhaps its primal nature is predisposed To acts of wanton theft and violence But that's juxtaposed by the most curious phenomena 'Cause when the voice stepped out of its shadowy habitat Finally submitting to the pillar of light overhead She gazed upon its face like a jeweler cutting a gem And the fear she felt was consuming and cosmic More shocking than the lightning dancing through the clouds The face of the thing which goes bump in the night Pierced her with eyes resembling her own Creeping under streetlights Having a good time (You'll never know You'll never know) Freedom is a vice In the dead of the moonlight (Nowhere to go Nowhere to go) Whiskey in my veins Hand over the reins Your money or your life although I believe they're one and the same My conscience bears the load As I watch the new moon glow As I watch the new moon glow
