The Light Will Stay On

I go to sleep Before the devil wakes And I wake up Before the angels take All my worldly desires All my yardsticks of fear Hangin' down, hangin' down I go to sleep Before the devil wakes And I wake up Before the angels take All my secrets untold All my motives unclear Hangin' down in the fire Burnin' them higher Won't take them away from here And long after we're gone The lights will stay on The lights will stay on Watched the city City of crows Watched 'em fly Watched 'em all flyin' low Out above the flood plain Just above the dirt road They were hungry as winter Hungry as us Not afraid to be flyin' Not afraid to be lost And long after we're gone The lights will stay on The lights will stay on And if you bury me Add three feet to it One for your sorrow Two for your sweat Three for the strange things we never forget And long after we're gone The lights will stay on The lights will stay on And long after we're safe The lights will not fade The lights will not fade
