Take a long look around
there's too much commotion in this town
vipers on the street as thick as thieves
they all say they want out but no-one leaves
you might caress the holy stone
you may worship some poor fool's paper throne
you can wire up all it takes
you'll just end up one of nature's little mistakes
When things ain't quite what they seem
you cannot find your way
you've lost that golden dream
meet me on the road
I will share your heavy load
we'll be safe there tonight
in the house of light
you might think your life is cursed
you might know you're gonna die at sea of thirst
you might always be ignored
you may never strike a sympathetic chord
when things don't amount to much
your hopes are all washed up
you've lost your golden touch
meet me on the road
I will share your heavy load
we'll be bathed in white
at the house of light
Take a good look around
there's nothin' but confusion goin' down
all the stories have been sold
there's no innocence or love to behold
lift me up take me to the house of light
lift me up so I can see
