I am the god of 42nd Street
You may not love me but I'm hard to beat
I am the lord of all you see and feel
You may not want me but I'm, oh, so real
You cannot feel me when the light is on
So come to darkness, I won't be very long
Close your eyes, my darling and you'll find the light
Close your eyes, my friend and then there'll be no fright
Close your eyes, my darling and you'll find the way
All the fire and all the hate won't change the feelings
Won't change your fate
So stop your crying and feed my faith
I'll kill your God and take his place
So kill the leaches in your little dream
The blood's not spilling, it's not what it seems
Close your eyes, my darling and you'll find the light
Close your eyes, my friend and then there'll be no fright
Close your eyes, my darling and you'll find the way
Hey, have you ever walked beneath the rain
In hope of washing away the pain and all your tears?
Hey, have you ever talked of all the shame
Within your everlasting, everlasting fear of me?
Close your eyes, my darling and you'll find the light
Close your eyes, my friend and then there'll be no fright
Close your eyes, my darling and you'll find the way
I am the god of 42nd Street
You may not love me but I'm hard to beat
I am the lord of all you see and feel
You may not want me but I'm, oh, so real
You cannot feel me when the light is on
So come to darkness, I won't be very long
Close your eyes, my darling and you'll find the light
Close your eyes, my friend and then there'll be no fright
Close your eyes, my darling and you'll find the way
