Ooh and after dark

Ooh the inquisition stars

(I dreamed a fire pit and a funeral last I slept)

The devil the devil is in my kitchen again

And I never know never know what to say to him

I put the kettle on and yawn and yawn and wait

He always makes his nightly rounds

And I know I know to expect him now /

He comes around at half past one

Every night since I was young

I put the kettle on, it's on, it's on, I wait

And my mother always wondering why I'm up so late...

So if the kitchen light's on late tonight

Don't mind me, I've got company again

Skip the song and dance, I know the drill

My thoughts go where they always will

I visit the crossroads every night

And I hold on tight, and I hold on tight

Because the calendar stutters and oh the weather portends

'Cause there's a crack in the wall between all our means and our ends

Because the kitchen light hums and the kettle says

Amen, amen, amen

(Amen, amen, amen)

Oh if the kitchen light's on late tonight

Don't bother, don't bother

I got company again, but I'll eventually turn in...

If the kitchen light's on late tonight

Don't mind me

(Ooh and when the lights go out --)

I came up lucky to lucky without scars so I made some

Took a blade to a blade to all the parts that I hate some

Gave it up long ago, but at night

Still I hold on tight, still I hold on tight

'Cause the stuff I cut off shares a table with me

From a quarter to one until a quarter past three

Like to settle some score, but we've done this before

And I don't barter anymore:

​You cannot intimidate me

Fear is my old friend

​We dated for awhile

And she still calls me now and then

​I've gone all the way with Fear and back

You don't know what I've seen

And without her on your side

You cannot turn me against me again

Oh if the kitchen light's on late tonight

Don't bother, don't bother

Oh I got company all right, but I know

I'll hold on tight, I'll hold on tight

I / I / I don't barter, I don't barter

I'll heat the kettle one more time and I'll be fine

Devil the Devil is in the kitchen again

And I never know never know what to say to him

I put the kettle on --
