...One two three

Haydn lost his mind 
when he heard the verse for the first time
And he never ever really got it back

I think he knows that
I think he knows that that's alright
I think he knows that 
we're losing light

I think he knows that
I think he knows that that's alright
I think he knows that 
we're losing light

Casey sees each day as a compromise 
that flies in the face of dreams
That she never ever really got to have

I think she hopes that
Or has decided it's alright
Because she knows that 
we're losing light

I think she knows that
Or has made peace with what it's like
To know 
we're losing

Lights camera action
Do they say that anymore???
Has there ever really been a masterpiece
Cut up on the cutting room floor

When we couldn't see 
the color of the sepia thespian's eyes???
While the cinematographer cried
We're losing

My life will be like my mother's father's life
At least that's how it seems so far
I've got a house outside of town 
and a decent car

Oh no I think that
I think the quiet life's alright
Because the hunchback 
used a candle to make shadows in the night

Oh yes I think that
I think the quiet life's alright
Because he uses those same candles 
to battle those same shadows

And Haydn lost his mind 
the first time he heard the muse
But he could never bring himself to cry

I think he knows that
I think he knows that that's alright
I think he knows that
We're losing
We're losing
We're losing light

We're losing light
We're losing light
