As Many Candles As Possible

When stray dogs finally catch you in the alley
 You don't consider their point of view
 But when the wounds are healed and the scars are shiny
 Sometimes then you do
 The terms are vicious
 Time is tight
 No one gets
 Too much light
 ♪
 When you see the risen beast in your nightmares
 You treat him like a long lost brother
 But when you pass him on the streets of the city by day
 You pretend you don't recognise each other
 The lake is boiling
 The fish won't bite
 No one gets
 Too much light
 Seek out a cave by the ocean while you wait out the rain
 Dial down the weak bits and crank up the gain
 Listen for the prophecy somewhere in the static
 Once you've saddled up your pony, burn down the paddock
 ♪
 When pigs gather in the sty to greet the sunrise
 They all begin to squeal for joy
 It doesn't sound like joy to the untrained ear
 And there's plenty of distortion and it's not real clear
 You've got a friend downstairs
 He howls all night
 No one gets
 Too much light
