[Verse 1]
So you see I've gotten this far
Please give me some place to rage
I'm not trying to go there so take me away
Life sometimes pisses me off
It's never a good trip for me
Every time I reach for love, it's taken away

[Chorus]
Night, so I play!
Give me a sign!
This is day!
Give me some patience, so I pray!
It's time to die!
Is that what I want?

[Verse 2]
There's nothing wrong wanting to be loved
Is there something wrong with me?
For once in my life, I'd like to be really set free
Let me be me

[Chorus]
Night, so I play!
Give me a sign!
This is day!
Give me some guidance, so I pray!
It's time to die!
Is that what I want?

[Bridge]
Take me away
Taken away
Take me away
Taken away

[Chorus 1]
Night, so I play!
Give me a sign!
This is day!
Give me some patience, so I pray!
It's time to die!
Is that what I want?
Night, so I play!
Give me the sign!
This is day!
Give me some guidance, so I pray!
It's time to die!
Is that what I want?

Bakersfield friends James “Munky” Shaffer, Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu and David Silveria formed the funk-rock band LAPD in 1989 and moved to Los Angeles with another friend Brian “Head” Welch as their roadie. Later, with Welch as second guitarist, the band named themselves Creep and recorded a demo with pal Ross Robinson.

However, when Shaffer and Welch visited family in Bakersfield, they met Jonathan Davis who added a darker, goth-tinged edge to the band’s heavy groove. Robinson

The band wasn’t dark yet; it had, like, killer grooves and good riffs, but there was some happy edge to it. And when (Davis) walked into the room, it went dark and goth. Basically, during the first song, to audition in the rehearsal room, he started freaking the hell out [laughs]. You couldn’t hear his voice, but you felt chills all over your body, and it was instantly like, “Oh my God, yeah – he’s the one.”
