stay up while the rest of them sleep
and i will break every promise you keep
obey while the rest of them stray
light up in the dark…
and get in the way
shout out
while they’re trying to sleep
slow down
’til you’re starting to creep
let go while the rest of them hold…
you’re certain to drop
they’re destined to fold…
our destiny’s told…
their rivers don’t run very deep
as surely as some of them sleep
on honor i’d certainly dwell
i’m treading too deep
it’s all just as well
pipe down when there’s nobody home
and wait til she gets off the phone
(man) they all wanna put you to sleep
i’ll wait in the dark…
my outlook is bleak…
my razor is sharp…
but not very deep…
PART 2:
(i’ll tear you to pieces…)
“day of the dead”
wherever it is…
let’s hope it’s well on its way
yea you’re practically cured…
so whaddya say?
the rest is assured…
still pretending to pray…
so i hope that i’ll make it…
to the light of the day…
whether ready or not…
by the light of the day…
we’ve gotta watch what we do…
we’ve gotta watch what we say…
‘cuz in another dawn…
they’ll try to send me away…
but i held right on…
by the light of the day…
and in the dead of the night…
by the light of the day…
in the midnight hour…
they’ll try to lead me astray…
still i held right on…
by the light of the day…
we’d better watch what we do…
(before they put us away)
