Night Will Fall 04:18
lyrics

NIGHT WILL FALL The people of this town disappear at night Scramble like bugs in the kitchen light I don't want to know what they fear Hiding in the shadows . . . the shadows coming near Night will fall And cover you with rust Night will call In the darkness we will trust Something wicked stirring in the trees Satan's little hookers on their knees Insanity billows in the breeze Lethal spores in the air . . . in the air we breathe Night will fall And polish you with dust Night will call In the darkness we will trust I can hear scratching in the wall Waiting for the somber dark to fall Waiting for the solemn lullabies Waiting for the darkness . . . the darkness always lies Night will fall And cover you with rust Night will call In the darkness we will trust Night will fall Darkness we will trust Night will call In the darkness we will touch c2009 Wishnefsky

Setting Sun 04:00
lyrics

SETTTING SUN Gold as the dust that settles on your brow Cold as the wind that rustles through the bough Gold in your eyes and the fever starts to fail Cold in your hands as they fumble for the grail Here it comes Setting sun In the barrel of a gun It starts to show Starts to grow In the feathers of the crow It's never done Setting sun End of days has just begun Make it so Make it go Setting sun will always glow Old as the bones that rattle in your tomb Young as the night and the darkness starts to bloom Old as the day in the comfort of the womb Young as a rose with its poisonous perfume Here it comes Setting sun In the barrel of a gun It starts to show Starts to grow In the feathers of the crow It's never done Setting sun End of days has just begun Make it so Make it go Setting sun will always glow Always glow c2009 Wishnefsky

Afraid of the Dark 04:00

AFRAID OF THE DARK Clouds obscure the sun There are whitecaps on the water As we move in single file At the service for his daughter I’m not afraid I’m not afraid I’m not afraid Of the dark No one is immune Come Hell or high water I can’t hold back my sorrow But I can hold my daughter She’s not afraid She’s not afraid She’s not afraid She’s not afraid She’s not afraid She’s not afraid Of the dark c2009 Wishnefsky

Speak to Me 05:14
lyrics

SPEAK TO ME There comes a time in every plight When you have to decide who's wrong and who's right You can stay in the dark Or free your mind and move on into the light When you're there, you might be aware Of a conjurer with bones in his hair Kneeling down on bended knees And chanting a name in a prayer of pleas Speak to me In tongues you speak through me In the dark you see through me Strike down our foes There comes a time in every night When you have to decide which path to alight You can stay in your place Or free your mind and leave without a trace When you're there, you'd best beware The alchemist with a deadly stare Whispers to the ghost Cortez Who comes alive and softly says Speak to me In tongues you speak through me In the dark you see through me Strike down our foes c2009 Wishnefsky

Evil Circus Clown 03:20
lyrics

EVIL CIRCUS CLOWN Evil circus clown Is nowhere to be found His face paint starts to run No one's having fun Evil circus clown Drinks until he's down The evil big top star Has passed out at the bar Evil circus clown Works without a net Dresses like a party To cover his regret Even without the bulb His nose is always red And even though he wears a wig There's nothing in his head But character defects Jealousy and rage That's why he has to paint a smile Before he takes the stage The bearded lady hates him The midgets run away The elephants are frightened The jugglers are dismayed The children in the bleachers Expecting something true Are scared out of their wits When evil comes unglued Clowns should never talk Clowns should only smile They have nothing good to say Only filthy lies and vile Evil circus clown Broke the big top rule Opened up his mouth To prove he's not a fool But only fools were makeup To cover up a frown The crowd is finally laughing Cause the joke is on the clown c2009 Wishnefsky

Nervous Time 04:46

NERVOUS TIME Hidden in the floorboard Underneath the bed Blood still running Pounding in my head Heart still pumping I’m trying to ignore Now the heat is coming Rapping at my door Can’t you see? Yes, I’m quite all right Can’t you tell? Would you like a light? Nervous time I could make some tea Nervous time There’s nothing wrong with me Say what you will Any man could learn to kill Say what you like Any man could learn to strike Wicked eye staring Deep into my soul Wait until he’s sleeping Before I take control Heart still pumping Ticking in my head Burning in my ears The shouting of the dead Can’t you tell? I like to stay up late Can’t you see? I don’t believe in fate Nervous time Won’t you take a seat? Nervous time There’s nothing wrong with me Say what you will Any man could learn to kill Say what you like Any man could learn to strike Deep in the night Like a moth is drawn to light His evil eye Had to shut, it had to die c2009 Wishnefsky

DREAMFALLING The wind is blowing The floor is gone I know I’m dreaming But something’s wrong I’ve woken up Within my dream The riverboat Floats upstream I’m falling Underground I’m calling Without a sound I’m falling To nowhere I’m calling To no one The mountaintops Are far below The desert wind Like a furnace blows I’m drifting now Above the trees I’ve come apart I’m no longer me I’m falling Underground I’m calling Without a sound I’m falling To nowhere I’m calling To no one Gravity brings me to my knees Gravity gets the best of me Gravity pulls me to the core Gravity opens up the door I’m falling Like a leaf I’m calling No relief I’m falling With my fears I’m calling No one hears No one hears No one c2009 Wishnefsky

The Nightwalker Comes . . . 03:36
lyrics

NIGHTWALKER The Nightwalker has some goods for sale A box of dreams and the devil’s eyelash A jar of giant tears and a batch of witch’s sleep Powder of Pan’s horn and a strand of Aphrodite’s hair The Nightwalker collects arti-facts and arti-frauds Hides in the shadows when he sees you coming Barters with the tramps who steal for commission From the trash of the rich and the shanties of the poor Walk into the Night Walk into the Night The Nightwalker drags his big bag behind him Likes to call himself the “Anti Saint Nicolas” He’s never seen a sleigh or harnessed a reindeer Avoids the rooftops and chimneys whenever possible The Nightwalker comes under cover of darkness Sneaks in your house through the cracks in the tile Blows magic sleeping dust over your pillowcase And walks the streets in your darkest dreams Walk into the Night Walk into the Night Walk into the Night Walk into the Night c2009 Wishnefsky

RISING SUN Before I come apart again Something has to give inside It’s so hard to trust, my friend I would rather run and hide But as I reach the deepest low The East horizon starts to glow Oh – the sun is rising up to fill the sky Oh – the sun is rising up to blow my mind Oh – the sun is rising up to light the way Oh – the sun is rising up to save the day Sitting in my living room Pouring over all you said Something has to happen soon Or is this only in my head? But as I reach the deepest low The East horizon starts to glow Oh – the sun is rising up to fill the sky Oh – the sun is rising up to blow my mind Oh – the sun is rising up to light the way Oh – the sun is rising up to save the day c2009 Wishnefsky

about

Nightwalker is Wishnefsky’s fourth solo album and marks a return to his unique style of electronica rock.

Nightwalker is not an album about prostitutes, though it does concern certain things that go bump in the night. Waking at dusk and sleeping at dawn, this album embarks on a moonlight boondoggle that beckons the monsters hiding under the bed and haunting your dreams. The night makes a convenient metaphor for the dark reaches of the mind and the primordial fears that rise like luminous stinging jellyfish from the murky depths of the subconscious.

Or so it seems.

Wishnefsky wrote, performed, and produced Nightwalker at his home studio in lovely South Pasadena, California.

The supremely talented Michael James mixed and mastered the record. And, being a warm shining person, he also contributed electric guitar parts to all songs on the record that contain the word "sun" in the title.

Award winning photographer Ed Nahin took and manipulated the cover photograph.
