With the lights out you ran around town With answers in your mind and marbles in your mouth And you freaked out in the yard by the ?owers Telling everybody how the place used to be ours But now you can't go home the light's out You're way too old and you've got doubts about what'll come of your soul And it all seems so made up these days you try to stay true to yourself But it's hard when you don't know who you are They say it's so sad With all the good that they gave you made bad You play it so well and what they see is what they get And what they gave you is what you sell Well who do you think you?re talking to anyway I'm not your muse Not your amusement not to be confused With the answer you've got down in your pocket
Well look close you'll see there's a hole Where the answers have all slipped right out from under your control But you set my heart on ?re with the light from your soul Burning upwards and out of control You've replaced my lonely desire with a life ?lled with love There's a lot worse that I could think of While the time's marching on You watch the world pa** by from out on the lawn It's time you burned this house down and be gone Because it's all in your mind All of the time And in due time you'll ?nd It's easier not to ?ght it You set my heart on ?re with the light from your soul Burning upwards and out of control You replace my lonely desire with a life ?lled with love There's a lot worse that I could think of
