The Thing lyrics

The lonely nights of winter

Are movin' in again

No more sleeping easy

No more time for friends

You can hear the wind howling

It brings a loneliness within

And if I ever leave here

I ain't never coming back again

Never coming back again

Never coming back again

Mysteries surround us

You know it ain't always just like it seems

Although my days are numbered

Got to move along

And all I want to know

Is I'm never coming back again

Never coming back again

Never coming back again

Never, never, never coming back

Never coming back again, no

Ooh, yeah

Alright

Can you hear the sound of thunder?

You can see where the lightning strikes

Who'll come lookin' for me?

Will anybody brave the night?

Although the wind is screaming

There's a danger in my heart

And although I've friends around me

We ain't never gonna apart

Oh, I'm running out of time

And the memories are yours and not mine

Oh, I'm running out of time

Now desperation shoots us down the line

Down the line

Whoa, yeah

Well, now I had my share of bad times

You know I've been there once or twice

And when love deals

It's with a hand that's cold as ice

Crazy, hard-luck stories

You know I've heard them all before

Crying out in the darkness

But I'll even up the score

Oh, I'm running out of time

And the memories are yours and not mine

Oh, I'm running out of time

Now desperation shoots us down the line

Never coming back again

Hey, yeah

Oh, I'm running out of time

And the memories are yours and not mine

Not mine

Oh, I'm running out of time

Now desperation shoots us down the line

Ooh, down the line

Oh, yeah
