Shining On - The House Of Love

I was running out on life

I was living in a cheap bungalow

The candle light was burning

When the cars within the night began to roll

It was kind of like a movie

There were fifty ways to die before your eyes

So I picked a piece of paper up

And pretty soon the images collide

I’m shining on, shining on, shining on

I’m shining on, shining on, shining on

Well pretty soon you’re waiting

For the first to bring the ending in a hurst

For the man who you thought friendly wasn’t man

He wasn’t man, he was a nurse

And they hang the naked wicked

And … they will thank you, Lord

For you bruce this naked vanity

And sadly now this ferry man may die

I’m shining on, shining on, shining on

I’m shining on, shining on, shining on
