Something, something kissed my lips Something, something brushed my fingertips The north winds battle in the car park And the darkness is the darkness Somewhere the night is on the run With a bottle of ouzo and a rusty gun The north wind is like a Spanish guitar Soaked in petrol, burning on the bar Let the dead raise their heads And the dying leave their beds Ah, she didn't believe what her Mama said And she clambered out the window in the darkness And behind you in the night A million dogs come out to fight Cause it's the empire that be rising Rising, rising through the night Something, something give me strength I'm burning, burning on the brink The north wind is like cinnamon and wine And the darkness is the darkness Let the dead raise their heads And the dying leave their beds Ah, she didn't believe what her Mama said And she clambered out the window in the darkness And behind you in the night A million dogs come out to fight Cause it's the empire that be rising Rising, rising through the night Let the dead raise their heads And the dying leave their beds Ah, she didn't believe what her Mama said And she clambered out the window in the darkness And behind you in the night A million dogs come out to fight Cause it's the empire that be rising Rising, rising through the night
