I sit beside the dark
Beneath the mire
Cold grey dusty day
The morning lake
Drinks up the sky

Katmandu I’ll soon be seeing you
And your strange bewildering time
Will hold me down

Chop me some broken wood
We’ll start a fire
White warm light the dawn
And help me see
Old satan’s tree

Katmandu I’ll soon be touching you
And your strange bewildering time
Will hold me down

Pass me my hat and coat
Lock up the cabin
Slow night treat me right
until I go
Be nice to know

Katmandu I’ll soon be seeing you
And your strange bewildering time
Will keep me home

Baby, you’re cool
And even though you’ve never been to school
I know you’re fine
but then you change your mind
Then you start on driftin’
and fall on behind

You’ve been my girl
You’ve been mine
all of the time

A bad night
its gonna be
A bad night
I guarantee
tonight I’ll have
A bad night
I know I shall

ah, ’cause you left me waiting in the corner
and i know you’re never gonna come back for me
and though you said you loved me
and said you needed all of my love
a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad night
its gonna be

A bad night
it’s gonna be
A bad night
I guarantee
tonight I’ll have
A bad night
I know I shall

Maybe if the weather was just a little better
it might not have happened that way
but the situation was gettin’ pretty bad, bad
A bad bad bad bad bad night it’s gonna be

A bad night
it’s gonna be
A bad night
I guarantee
tonight I’ll have
A bad night
I know I shall
I know I shall
