Well I know you say now \"very well done, my old son\" But it's hard you know, every day is a dark dark one Cus my old friend's here, tug tug tugging at my sleeve You know he tugs so hard that he could almost make me leave
Light up your candles, into the dark we go To be a good man is all I want you know Light up your candles, cus here we go
It's a schlep this old life, just one slip and you are gone Back into the void where you came from You can't light your own way through this dark unholy place With just one candle and a happy face
So light it up now, fill the darkness with your grace With just one candle and a happy face Light it up now, your happy face
It's too easy somehow, just grit your teeth and let it go Last seduction, total destruction So what you gonna do now with the good life you have found, grin and bear it till you're six feet in the ground?
