Sometimes after dark, I hear them flying in the night.
And sometimes after dark, with my brethren I’ll take flight.
And I must fly, for there’s no holding down a creature such as I.
Once when I was new, I spent my nights in ignorance.
I never knew the darkness my burning heart could call.
A warranty bore I, that never needed use.
Then you carelessly released me from my bondage to the wall.
Sometimes after dark, I slip away into the night.
And sometimes after dark, until the morning I take flight.
And I must fly, for there’s no resting when the hunt takes to the sky.
Once I warmed your bread, a slave upon your counter-top.
And you thought you could control me, but I soon began to learn.
You’d say you’d want it light, but the darkness looks so fine.
And I cannot help my nature. Everything I touch must burn.
Sometimes after dark, appliances take flight.
And sometimes after dark, I spread my wings and prowl the night.
And I must fly, for there’s no holding down a creature such as I.
No freedom from the toaster’s hunting cry.
