steal light
 
you don’t believe a thing you tell me
but you tell me anyway
it might be something beautiful
i can’t really say
cuz god don’t listen if you’re lying when you’re praying
something everybody knows
something ain’t nobody saying
 
now i’ve got a simple explanation for the ordinary man
but it’s a mission quite impossible if you don’t understand
how it feels when you’re good
how it cuts when you fall
you make it all complicated, man
it ain’t complicated
 
   don’t stare long at a rising sun
   steal light for when the day is done
 
buy into the myth
jump into the fire
tell me what you want
tell me your every heart’s desire
tell it to the breeze
tell it to the sea
tell it to your mama
they’ve all listened to me
 
cuz i was there at the beginning
i’m gonna be there in the end
looking for a chance to introduce myself again
let me take your coat
let me take your time
i’ll catch you later, baby
sooner of later
 
   don’t stare long at a rising sun
   steal light for when the day is done
 
so what are you gonna do?
where you gonna run?
how are you gonna know if there is something wonderful
you need to feel?
man, you can’t feel anything
i look deep in your eyes
nothing
 
   don’t stare long at a rising sun
   steal light for when the day is done
