The Afghan Whigs

The Afghan Whigs are an American rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio, originally active from 1986 to 2001. They have since reformed. At their peak, the group – with core members Greg Dulli (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rick McCollum (lead guitar), and John Curley (bass), as well as various drummers (including Steve Earle and Michael Horrigan) – evolved into one of the leading groups of 1990s alternative rock, rising up around the grunge movement but ultimately transcending it.

Let it be light, baby
Where there's none
Memories bite, baby
Never done
I control, collect, collide
Come in slow 
But that's alright
Let it be night, baby
Come undone now

Let it be night, baby
Watch them run
The enemy lies waiting for the sun
I control, collect, collide
To let go is to bet your life
Let it be light, baby
'Til there's none

The lottery, the ritual
The consequence, the criminal
Come back to me, I've been them all
Come bedtime, come bad times

Let it be night and then I'm born again
Remedy disguise the poison pen
You let her slip out of the tourniquet again

The lottery 
Still waiting for the show
A part of me can't let it go
I'll fade to black
A parable
In cognizant, incomparable

And now we've reached the end
One for now
One for always
One for me
One for yourself

I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready
