that weight is heavy, you'll carry it to your dead
'till you can't feel your fingers, 'till you can't fill your head
'till you can't make decisions to save your own life
'till you're spending your days under the point of the knife, yeah

we all need someone to use
babe we got to refuse
to be left behind

baby shine your light down on me
give me something to believe
come on baby shine it shine it
won't you shine your light down on me
I ain't got nothing you see
come on and baby shine it

the days leave you weary, left out in the cold
'till you're begging for so long you've got to do what you're told
till you see premonitions of what your life could have been
until you're like a leaf falling and blowing out in the wind, yeah

we all need someone to use
babe we got to refuse
to be left behind

baby shine your light down on me
give me something to believe
come on baby shine it shine it
won't you shine your light down on me
I ain't got nothing you see
come on and baby shine it

well you'll see me out at the bars tonight
ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah
just waiting for someone to make it right
ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah
