Another Century

I gotta light a candle for you

So you can see yourself in the dark

I gotta get a handle on you (so you can see yourself)

And the hand will leave a mark

I gotta get directions off you (can you see yourself)

The mirror flare could be anywhere

The night is a liar

Overthrow the tyrant

Overthrow the tyrant

And in the fading light I saw

When you asked yourself

Why has this happened to me

Once or twice (once or twice)

Something nice might have come of it

I gotta fight a battle for you

Dial it back another century

Another night I'd settle for you (you can see yourself)

Every morning and everywhere

Today is a liar

Undergo the silence

Undergo the silence

And in the fading light I saw

When you asked yourself

Why has this happened to me

Once or twice

In the fading night I heard

When they shoot themselves

How did this happen to me

Once or twice (once or twice)

Something nice might have come of it

Something nice might have come of it

I gotta light a candle for you

So you can see yourself...
