A little weird, a little angry, a lot half-baked, but I don't hate it. And I was surprised as anyone to hear a little Supertramp in there somewhere ...

lyrics

Don’t go lightly in this darkened night
Check your rear-view, rev your fight or
Flight paths track your sins
Loss or win
We will find you in the end
and, by the way, have you got a light?

Tell your tall tales, keep your symbols vague
Pour your best wine, waiting out the
Plagued us with a
Sharp-fanged press gang
busting down my door
And this what they said, oh, to me

You do what you want to do
Have yourself a ball
But when the angels come to call
There’s a price to pay
You can fill your glass and drink it down
To the bottom of the sea
but you belong to me
When the lights go out

Line your pocket, turn your key and lock it
Take what you can get before they
Cordon off your street
Charge and cheat
Get your cold steel for the heat
Can’t say you weren’t warned, were you now?

You do what you want to do
Have yourself a ball
But when the angels come to call
There’s a price to pay
You can fill your glass and drink it down
To the bottom of the sea
but you belong to me
When the lights go out

We’ll think about you when we’ve fasted
Such a party while it lasted, oh, oh

You do what you want to do
Have yourself a ball
But when the angels come to call
There’s a price to pay
You can fill your glass and drink it down
To the bottom of the sea
but you belong to me
When the lights go out
