lyrics

Candle

Music by Reckoning (words Seamus)

Smash your life and put it on parade,
Up and down the streets of Adelaide.
Smash your television 'cos you're bored.
Spend your weekend lying on the floor.

And you ain't ever been saved.
And you ain't ever been me.
And as you're creeping away,
I wonder if you can see.

As you light the candle, you light the candle.
I go out of my way as you light the candle.

Just as there are four corners on my bed,
There are four sweet angels as my head.
Bless you Mathew, Mark, Luke and John.
Bless this bed that I am weeping on.

And you ain't ever been saved.
And you ain't ever been free.
And just as Elvis was a carpenter,
The world is waiting for me.

As you light the candle, you light the candle.
Immaculately concieved as you light the candle.

In the garden of Eden,
The shame, the tears are rolling down your face.
In the garden of Boredom,
The snake he sends you to another place.

As you light the candle, you light the candle.
I go out of my way as you light the candle.
