There´s a deal you can make on a midnight walk alone
Look around, listen close, hear it fall from above
It will ask what you´d give and what you´d take for it in return

I once went on such walk and I found that I´d said

I want someone to take this soul
I can´t bear to keep it
I´d give it just to give
And all I will take are the consequences
Will somebody take this soul?

Then, of course, nothing replied, nothing speaks to you in the night
And I walked my way home, there was no one in sight
Save a bird perched upon a streetlight, watchin´ me
So I stopped and let it watch ´til I found that it said

Now I´m taken, the night has me
You won´t hear me singin´
You´re a cage without me
Your pain is eased but you´ll never be free, for
Now I´m taken, the night has me

There´s a deal that I made
There´s a deal that I made
There´s a deal that I made
There´s a deal that I made
