Lyrics

Dark Delilah
Playing checkers against herself
Picking up the phone, when nobody’s home
Just to say hello

Listens to the radio
As background sound
To drown out the empty ground
The empty ground around Dark Delilah

The wind it whispers quiet pleas
To come play outside
To come and play with the trees
The sun it shines
Straight for her eyes, her eyes
Dark Delilah just stays alone inside

A head filled
With imaginary images she’s never seen
Too crippled by the colors so bright inside her mind
To need anything her eyes could really see
She’s anything but empty
Anything but empty
Dark Delilah

The wind it whispers quiet pleas
To come play outside
To come and play with the trees
The sun it shines
Straight for her eyes, her eyes
Dark Delilah just stays alone inside

The wind it whispers quiet pleas
To come play outside
To come and play with the trees
The sun it shines
Straight for her eyes, her eyes
Dark Delilah just stays alone inside

Everyone who watches
Watches confused
So caught up in watching a girl who needs no one
She seems to need no one
Dark Delilah
