When a woman acquires a certain age   And the men who adored you no longer swoon   It pays to avoid the sunlit days   And live by the light of the kindly moon   But the moon grows old   Just like us all   And her beautiful years are done   So now she prays through endless days   To take her revenge on the sun      When I was a girl at my daddy's side   Papa, the royal mortician   Revealed to me in secret signs   The mark of a magician      And Daddy was no dummy   Did outrageous things with a mummy   And often the stiffs that he would shrive   Would look better dead than they did alive      I studied well I learnt the trade   I thought my looks would never fade   If I could find that recipe   To give eternal youth to me      It was always my ambition   To use Papa's tuition   And gain some small remission   From the vagaries of time      Every little ray of sunshine robs me of my youth   Who to blame?   Who the one?   Who to curse?   You know the only on to blame   Would be my enemy the Sun      Snuff out the light   Claim your right   To a world of darkness   Snuff out the light   Neophytes   Of a world of darkness      Supai baby turn me on   Every wrinkle soon be gone   I could squeeze myself with glee   The promises you made to me      I've really stopped at nothing   Murder, treachery, and lying   Whatever it takes to keep my looks   You really can't blame a girl for trying      Snuff out the light   Claim your right   To a world of darkness   Snuff out the light   Neophytes   Of a world of darkness      Snuff out the light   Claim your right   To a world of darkness      Snuff out the light   Here tonight      Apparitions of eternal darkness   Spiraling in circles through the night   Creatures of beguiling blackness   No more squinting in the light      Bats and owls and coiled sea dragons   Crocodile and carrion beasts   Swirling in the growing darkness   Join us in the coming feast      Spectre wraith and apparition   Spirit demon phantom shade   Salamander serpents dog-faced devils   Dance and watch the dying sunlight fade.
