Darkness

I caught the darkness It was drinking from your cup I caught the darkness Drinking from your cup I said, "Is this contagious?" You said, "Just drink it up." I got no future I know my days are few I know the present's not that pleasant Just a lot of things to do I thought the past would last me But the darkness got that too I should have seen it coming It was right behind your eyes You were young and it was summer I just had to take a dive Winning you was easy But darkness was the prize I don't smoke no cigarette I don't drink no alcohol I ain't had much loving yet But that's always been your call Hey, I don't miss it baby I got no taste for anything at all I used to love the rainbow And I used to love the view I loved the early morning And I'd pretend that it was new But I caught the darkness, baby And I got it worse than you I caught the darkness It was drinking from your cup I caught the darkness Drinking from your cup I said, "Is this contagious?" You said, "Just drink it up."
