Well, you´re up all night
And your head´s down low
If you can see your own kite (Shed a little light on it)
You know a burden ain´t a bust

You are the only way to trust ya
It´s only fair it burns up in that rust

Lay down, Martha
Lay down the holy banner flag
Hold out, Martha
Help is surely on its way
And it´s not right
Don´t bask in the glory of mine
But oh no, they can´t come take that part away

Ate up all their cake
And they drank their own wine
They were always on the take (Will you shed a little light on it)
Well, you know the burden ain´t a gust
The only path to love is touch
I know that all that proper mounts too much

Lay down, Martha
Lay all that alabaster down
There´s no master and
Help will surely come around
I don´t ask
I don´t bask in the glory
Oh no
And it´s up to me if I don´t wear a mask

Well you´re up all night
And your neighbors don´t know
Man, your neighbors don´t know
(So shed a little light on it)
You know the burden ain´t a gust
You know that truth´s been made a crutch
No no no
Only them who´s pauper lays him up
