10000 Candles by They Sang As They Slew Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What did the poet say?
Like the light of a candle lost in the day
One hand on the cradle
Please try not to come apart

[Verse 2]
The singer takes the stage
And he whispers, "Relax and fake
The gift is for giving
Please try"

[Chorus]
Ah, Cancer! Ah, Scorpio! That's the trick!
Come giver becomes taker, it's oh so sick
How am I to burn? I'll just light the wick
And come apart

[Verse 3]
Another bead on a string
Ten thousand candles and the light they bring
I sing, how shocking! I sing!
I sing!
[Verse 4]
This paper and this prose
The meanings that no one knows
He writes on the wall what he won't in the hall

[Chorus]
Ah, Cancer! Ah, Scorpio! That's the trick!
Come giver becomes taker, it's oh so sick
How am I to burn? I'll just light the wick
And come apart
Na na na
Come apart
Na na na
Come apart
Na na na

[Bridge]
God bless the kids in the USA
God bless the kids in the USA
Sometimes they grieve
Sometimes they cry
Sometimes they're sold the serpent's lie
Sometimes they give
Sometimes they take
Sometimes they claim they can't relate
Sometimes it's bread
Sometimes it's wine
Sometimes it's famine robed in the fine
Sometimes they bleed
Sometimes I bleed
Sometimes we bleed
[Chorus]
Ah, Cancer! Ah, Scorpio! That's the trick!
Come giver becomes taker, it's oh so sick
How am I to burn? I'll just light the wick
And come apart
Na na na
Come apart
Na na na
Come apart
Na na na, na na na
