Enemy Of The Night

He was never destined to change
 An enemy of the night
 Scouring my memories
 I've got nothing to hide
 Never destined to change
 Or let go of his pride
 Driving down a one-way street
 I'm just along for the ride
 I'm just along for the ride
 ♪
 Five dollars in my mother's pocket
 The rest for the score
 Waiting on the corner of Ward and Kings Cross Road
 Outside an old record store
 I bought my first CD that day
 With the five that mum could spare
 So unaware, we'd be waiting for a call
 He's in intensive care, condition critical
 Beaten to a pulp by two or three or four
 The next time I saw my father's face
 I didn't recognize him anymore
 No, I didn't recognize him anymore
 A victim of desperation
 An enemy of the night
 I'm just along for the ride
 Two minutes from the petrol station
 My father used to run
 He got clean and tried to make ends meet
 But all hope become undone
 When he fell in and out of love (In and out of love)
 His sickness was reclaimed (Sickness was reclaimed)
 A cigarette, a junk-fueled slumber
 He rode shotgun in the flames
 His skin was stained with gasoline
 His nerves could feel no pain
 He held the key to his release
 But he was never destined to change
