Is the same for everybody

Sheds more light than we see

There's someone who can break the sound barrier

Every tale gets rewritten in economics
_____
With pit bulls let loose to maul in the street

And the owners just standing there smoking

The match struck in the dark

Sheds more light than we see

Under the world's still distracted eyes

Things get flipped downtown and in the suburbs
The vampire doesn't change
_____
Doesn't apologize for all that blood

Whoever was supposed to pay never paid

Whoever was supposed to pay never paid

Whoever was supposed to pay never paid

Sheds more light than we think
