In the velvet darkness, 
of the blackest night, 
burning bright, 
there's a guiding star, 
no matter what or who you are.
 [bad word]  
there's a light (over at the frankenstein place) 
there's a light (burning in the fireplace) 
theres a light, light, in the darkness of everybody's life.

The darkness must go 
down the river 
of night's dreaming 
Flow morphia slow, 
let the sun and [bad word] streaming, 
into my life 
into my life

Theres a light...
 [bad word] Over at the frankenstien place

Theres a light 
burning in the fireplace 
theres a light...a light

in the darkness of everybodys life

I can see the flag fly 
I can see the rain 
Just the same there has got to be, 
something better here for you and me.
