I read the news you saw the headlines
I know your secret do you know mine
Somebody said they're getting closer
I guess we don't have all that much time
They're lighting bonfires in the distance
You know somethings in life will never change
So please don't say there was no warning
Just hold on tight it's crystal night again
It's crystal night again
This lot won't stop with just your records
This lot won't stop with all your dirty books
This lot won't stop don't need excuses
Don't like your lifestyle don't like your looks
They're lighting bonfires in the distance
You know somethings in life will never change
But please don't say there was no warning
Just hold on tight it's crystal night again
It's crystal night again
I read the news you're in the headlines
You've sold your secret will you tell mine
I hear a shout they're getting closer
I guess we don't have all that much time
This lot won't stop with just your records
This lot won't stop with all your dirty books
This lot won't stop don't need excuses
Don't like your lifestyle don't like your looks
So please don't say there was no warning
Just hold on tight it's crystal night again
It's crystal night again
