Burning Of The Midnight Lamp Living Colour

The morning is dead and the day, is, too
The step is up here to meet me but the velvet fool
All my loveliness I have felt today
It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away

And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone

Now the smiling portrait of you is still hanging on my frowning wall
It really doesn't really doesn't bother me to watch at all
It's just the ah ever fallinglove dust that makes it so hard for me to see
That forgotten earring clear on the floor facing coolly the one at the door

And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone
Yeah yeah
Lonely lonely lonely
Ah. Oh. Loneliness is such a drag

So here I sit to face that same old fire place
Getting' ready for the same old explosion goin' through my mind
Yes, soon enough time will tell about the circus in the wishing well
And someone who will buy and sell for me, someone who will tow my bail

And I continue to burn the same old lamp alone
Yeah midnight lamp
Can you hear me callin' you?
So lonely. Gotta blow my mine
Yeah, yeah. Lonely lonely
