C  G  C  G  C  G  Am  F  C  D7  D 

C      G           Am
Ah the lengthening hours in the refinery
C                      D7
Belching fire into the sky
           C    G   Am
We do our best vampire routines
      C              D7
As we suck the dying hours dry
Am                             C G C G
The night is lovely as a rose
Am
If I see sunlight hit you
     D7                   D
I am sure that we'll both decompose

C  G  C  G  C  G  Am  F  C  D7  D
   
C      G      Am
Ah the fitful sleep and the fire engines
C               D7
That I dream of when I dream
C              G         Am
Some day we'll both wake up for good
C                D7
I will try hard not to scream
Am                                     C G C G
The evening wind will shake the blinds
Am
You're stirring from your slumber
          D7                D
We've got something hateful on our minds
    C    G    Am
Oh sing sing sing
        C            D7
For the dying of the day
C            G                Am
Sing for the flames that will rip through here
C                             D7
And the smoke that will carry us away
     C            G            Am
Yeah sing for the damage we've done
        C                       D7
And the worse things that we'll do
C         G            Am
Open your mouth up and sing for me now
C                   D7
And I will sing for you

C  G  C  G  C  G  Am  F  C  D7  D   into infinity!
