I gotta light a candle for you So you can see yourself in the dark I gotta get a handle on you (so you can see yourself) And the hand will leave a mark I gotta get directions off you (can you see yourself) The mirror flare could be anywhere The night is a liar Overthrow the tyrant Overthrow the tyrant And in the fading light I saw When you asked yourself Why has this happened to me Once or twice (once or twice) Something nice might have come of it I gotta fight a battle for you Dial it back another century Another night I'd settle for you (you can see yourself) Every morning and everywhere Today is a liar Undergo the silence Undergo the silence And in the fading light I saw When you asked yourself Why has this happened to me Once or twice In the fading night I heard When they shoot themselves How did this happen to me Once or twice (once or twice) Something nice might have come of it Something nice might have come of it I gotta light a candle for you So you can see yourself...
