== Lyrics ==
 (Intro)
 The Dark Man
 The Dark Man
 (Verse)
 There were pictures of my own family
 In the shadows was someone watching me
 He was little more than a silhouette
 With a restrained feeling of regret
 (Chorus)
 The Dark Man
 The Dark Man
 The Dark Man
 (Spoken word Outro)
 In one of the pictures, his... his hands are desperately clinging to his face, like maybe it was on fire and he smothered it out with his fingers... but I know, that sounds crazy
=== 2008 Abridged Live Version ===
 (Intro)
 The Dark Man
 The Dark Man
 (Verse)
 Photos of a familiar family
 Showed a sad and shadowy man to me
 He was little more than a silhouette
 With a restrained - restrained feeling of regret
 (Chorus)
 The Dark Man
 The Dark Man
 The Dark Man
 (Spoken word Outro)
 Uh- uh in- in in one of the pictures- in one of the pictures he was kind of clawing at his face, like, like maybe it had been on fire
 And he put it out by slapping himself! But...
 That's crazy! That's just- that's just crazy
=== 2017 Remix ===
 (Intro)
 The Dark Man
 The Dark Man
 Man.
 Man.
 (Verse)
 There were pictures of my own family
 In the shadows was someone watching me
 He was little more than a silhouette
 With a restrained feeling of regret
 (Chorus)
 The Dark Man
 The Dark Man
 The Dark Man
 (Spoken word)
 In one of the pictures, his... his hands are desperately clinging to his face, like maybe it was on fire and he smothered it out with his fingers... 
 We interrupt this programme for an important bulletin
