Lyrics
Dull, white starlite
Pale as the morning falls away
The devil each dawn and flat graze upon
We're torn asunder 'neath his gaze
So come on, ye children
If there's one thing we know
It's that them gathering clouds are swinging low
So don't you be precious
Man, don't you be meek
There ain't no damn glory in the long retreat
Go, call the fuzz
They'll shine their lights on us
We've been building in the dark
There's so many of us
Now blinking in the light
There's so many of us
Illuminated and proud
There's so many of us
But there ain't no truth but the no truth but the not truth, yeah
Ain't nothing but the nothing but the nothing, yeah
Ain't no fall but the long fall is a long fall, yeah
And there ain't no light but the true light is a dim light, yeah
But I've been waiting and longing for that light to fall all over me
Six and six parsons and he doth proclaim
That the best little bits of us misfits and strays
Make a light in the night that needs to be shamed
All for some none for all and all fallen the same
And we surrender the stage to those pale horse riders
Go forth, man, qet down
With a mighty fist and a retarded crown
Do the one step the two step, sweet jubilee
And show me the light, goddamn
And lay me down in a bed full of rain
Yeah, shit is bleak, we've seen it and worried
Our timid leaps get knee deep and buried
Entire weeks where I swear I can barely rise
Electrical fits, tantrums and prayers
Pride undoes what mercy repairs
The pits of this
Toss a match to it and start again
The absence of light is its own stubborn light
No light is a light, no light is the true light
And there is no light, so there is a light
So there is no light, so there is a light
Though we've been denied too much hope in our lives
Let tonight be the night when it ends
Tell me there is a light, there is a light
There is a light
