I passed by the silent tiger
the ailing ape, the forgotten llama
the penguin face down in the water
I retreating to the nocturama
when will I ever be your husband
when will you ever be my bride
when will you take me from this place where
hope and hopelessness collide
to be by your side
to be by your side
to be by your side
to be by your side
to be by your side
to be by your side
to be by your side
to be by your side
Again and again, baby, Im not that strong
Ive got a chain around my ankle
and it's dragging me down
Well, nothing moves behind the glass
deep inside this artifical night
the tiny eyes blink from the darkness
saying everything will be alright
it'll be alright
it'll be alright
it'll be alright
it'll be alright
to be by your side
to be by your side
to be by your side
to be by your side
well again and again, baby, I'm not that tough
when night falls 'round here
its never night enough
to be by your side
to be by your side
to be by your side
to be by your side
to be by your side
to be by your side
to be by your side
to be by your side
it would be alright
it'd be alright
it'll be alright
it'll be alright
