Lyrics
verse 1
There is a torch that feeds the fire, there is a torch that makes it last
torn in between the cause and means we find our chance has passed
no, take this thorn from me
how can we love what cannot be
The light's on but noone's home, The light's on but noone's home
The orchestra begins to play
corsettes of chords and packaged pain
with palette white, the painter's pace
their paralyzed the bets are placed
from clip to clip the path unpaved
my weary feet the purpose fades
this desperate road good pilgrim stay,,,,,
chorus
no, no, no (3 times)
verse 2
lights, camera action--compose yourselves
this race for reaction has knocked little dolly off her shelf
there is a torch composing light
the fire burns us through the night
the coins of cold begin to fall, we lose the torch we lose it all
chorus
no, no, no (3 times)
bridge
its run its course, the kerosene ignites the kiss killing the Queen
it's run its course, the kerosene ignites the kiss killing the Queen
chorus
no, no, no (3 times)
verse 3
this nameless pain, this net of need
this cage of cause of chapeled dreams
this nameless pain, this net of need
we'll sing, oh
chorus
The light's on but noone's home (no no no no)
the light's on but noone's home (no no no no)
the light's on but noone's home
