Nite and Fog by Mercury Rev Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If God moves across the water
Then the girl moves in other ways
And I'm losing sight of either
Nite and fog are my days

[Verse 2]
I wanted only to be gentle
But I gave her jealousy and rage
Who knows exactly what I'm after
Nite and fog are my days

[Chorus]
Wisemen want faith
Fools want gold
Sailors want water
But you want it all

[Verse 3]
I tried to guide my love by starlight
And soon my life became a maze
Osiris and Orion were your favorites
Nite and fog are my days
[Chorus]
Vampires want darkness
Monsters want souls
Spiders want corners
But you want it all

[Verse 4]
She turns half nude to find me naked
But I can see she wants me in other ways
In the dark I've driven her to madness
Nite and fog are my days

[Verse 5]
I hope you see your ship come in
May it find you and never lose it's way
But I would make a poor captain
Nite and fog are my days

[Chorus]
Vampires want darkness
Monsters want souls
Spiders want corners
But you want it all

[Outro]
But you want it all
But you want it all
But you want it all
