[Chorus]
My dark hour
My dark hour
You know it's drivin' me wild

[Verse 1]
Well, well, I went (To see the doctor)
And I had (My fortune read)
And you know (The doctor told me)
"Son, you better stay in bed"

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Who's that comin' a-down that road
Looks like he's carryin' a heavy load
What’s that word that he started to say?
"Wanna come with me on my way?"

[Chorus]
My dark hour
Mother nature's child
My dark hour
Oh, it's drivin' me wild

[Verse 2]
Well, I went (To see the doctor)
Just to have (My fortune read)
Well, well, well, well, well
(The doctor told me)
"Son, you better stay in bed"

[Pre-Chorus 2]
So do you think these sinners will fall
Or do you think they'll survive us all?
Well, well, well, well, a-down this road
Won't you help me carry my load?

[Chorus]
My dark hour
Mother nature's child
My dark hour
Oh, it's drivin' me wild

[Outro]
Oh, mother nature's child
Oh, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, yeah…
