Resplendent in a Darkness

[Verse 1]

Is this a movie that I'm starring in?

Is it a comedy? It doesn't seem to me to be

The script is changing nearly every day

I never know what to say, whether to stay or go away

[Chorus]

And all the little imps are gasping, rasping, grasping as they try

To steal the stars from the sky

The crescent moon is singing, "Can you jump a little higher?", yes

I cannot see you, I confess

Resplendent in a darkness

[Verse 2]

Is this the last time that I'll see your face?

Before the curtains fall, and the evil spirits call

I'm not searching for a state of grace

Just a little kindness, say, it goes such a long way

[Chorus]

And all the little imps are screeching, preaching, reaching as they try

To steal the stars from the sky

The crescent moon is singing, "Can you jump a little higher?", yes

I cannot see you, I confess

Resplendent in a darkness

[Verse 3]

Is this a battle that I'm fighting in?

Is it frightening? But then, why am I laughing?

The blood is grenadine, the screams are fake

Somebody's on the make, and all for badness' sake

[Chorus]

And all the little imps are weeping, meeping, leaping as they try

To steal the stars from the sky

The crescent moon is singing, "Can you jump a little higher?", yes

I cannot see you, I confess

Resplendent in a darkness
