After Dark Lyrics

She walks down the line, no sense of time
Eternity
She talks of the years, blinded by tears
Her majesty
Fantasy
The mirror just confused her

She pleaded guilty to a charge of
Perverse delight
Trying to control the childhood dream that
Haunts her through the night
Is it the spoken truth or is it
The truth that is heard?
There's no one speaking
And no one's listening to words

On skid row after dark
Skid row after dark
Skid row after dark

She hides in the night, turns down her light
Time to wait
She holds out her hand, dreams of her man
Love or hate, it's all too late
Already she was dying

She pleaded guilty to a charge of
Perverse delight
Trying to control the childhood dream that
Haunts her through the night
Is it the spoken truth or it
The truth that is heard?
There's no one speaking
And no one's listening to words

On skid row after dark
Skid row after dark
Skid row after dark

(Solo)

On skid row after dark
Skid row after dark
Skid row after dark
After dark
After dark
After dark

Take A Long Line

She walks down the line, no sense of time 
Eternity 
She talks of the years, blinded by tears 
Her majesty
Fantasy 
The mirror just confused her

She pleaded guilty to a charge of 
Perverse delight 
Trying to control the childhood dream that 
Haunts her through the night 
Is it the spoken truth or is it 
The truth that is heard? 
There's no one speaking 
And no one's listening to words

On skid row after dark 
Skid row after dark 
Skid row after dark

She hides in the night, turns down her light 
Time to wait
She holds out her hand, dreams of her man 
Love or hate, it's all too late 
Already she was dying

She pleaded guilty to a charge of 
Perverse delight 
Trying to control the childhood dream that 
Haunts her through the night 
Is it the spoken truth or it 
The truth that is heard? 
There's no one speaking 
And no one's listening to words

On skid row after dark 
Skid row after dark 
Skid row after dark

(Solo)

On skid row after dark 
Skid row after dark 
Skid row after dark 
After dark 
After dark 
After dark

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
