[Verse 1]
Is there a time for, for spacing off?
For an old-fashioned daydream?
Is there a time for, for the hope rich?
The cash poor but well able?
You say that you’re close but
No outbreak of peace
And no cigar
Your say that you’re leavin’
But you’re a bad noble
And there’s no good tsars

[Chorus]
I won’t lead you to the light
‘Cause I don’t know the way
I will sit here with you in the dark
As the demons have their say

[Verse 2]
Rolls in like an ash cloud
Gets all up in your nose
Gets inside your head
No comin’s or goin’s
It’s a no-fly zone
They’re all grounded in bed
Singin’ sweet like a siren, on a stage of thorns
Givin’ you their glad eye
Sweet relief of a shipwreck
No more pitch and heave
Under gathering skies

[Chorus]
I won’t lead you to the light
‘Cause I don’t know the way
I will sit here with you in the dark
As the demons have their say

[Verse 3]
And they kept it up
Kept pokin’ the nest of your fears
All this whisperin’, sweet somethings in your ear
But you’re not afraid to fall
More like throwin’ yourself from this place
It might soften their cough
You could step off with some grace
Hope that you’ll join us
And draw your legs under the table
And we can break bread
And you’ll eat all
Ever you’re able


[Chorus]
Well, we won’t lead you to the light
‘Cause we don’t know the way
We will sit here with you in the dark
As the demons have their say
