Listen, children, to my story of a thousand crazy nights
Torrid starlit bacchanals of wild-eyed delight
Legions of limbs move entranced
Trapped in desire’s agro dance

Now the hearts within the crowd begin to heave and race
Saliva mingles with the tears and sweat upon our face
Kindling of lust finds a spark
See how it burns in the dark

Fan the virulent blaze
The animal nights 
Our hot savage days
Strut and fret here for now
Abandon your hope 
In all but a thousand crazy nights

Brazenly we tear composure’s ever-thinning veil
All the cords that bind us now are tenuous and frail
Hear all the mob as they scream
Lost in a mad, fevered dream

Grope whatever you can 
Feel with your face – let eyes be your hands
Break the solemnest vow 
Leave it behind – live in a thousand crazy nights

Fan the virulent blaze
The animal nights 
Our hot savage days
Strut and fret here for now
Abandon your hope 
In all but a thousand crazy nights
Grope whatever you can 
Feel with your face 
Let eyes be your hands
Break the solemnest vow
Leave it behind 
Live in a thousand crazy nights
