[English]

Now when the day goes to sleep and the full moon lurks

And the night is so black that the darkness cooks

And you come creeping around

Making me do things I don't wanna do

...

Can't believe that she needs my love so bad

Come sneaking around, trying to drive me mad

Busting in all my dreams

Making me see things I don't want to see

...

'Cause you're the Green Manalishi with the two pronged crown

All night dragging us up, or you're bringing us down

Just taking my love and slip away, leaving me here

Trying to keep from following you

...
