New Lamps for Old
The end of the evening, unable to cope
Unique entertainment, no longer a joke
The close of the picture, the end of the show
Merciless torment, torturous blow
New lamps for old, Bright shiny gold
Innocent youth, Falsehood for truth
The eye of the needle, the loss of the thread
Triumphant victor, glorious dead
The cause becomes duty, duty's the blow
Which kills the picture: death of the show
New lamps for old, Bright shiny gold
Innocent youth, Falsehood for truth
New lamps for old, Bright shiny gold
uh... yeeah...
So new,
So new,
New lamps for all
New lamps
Unique entertainment, no longer a joke
The close of the picture, the end of the show
Merciless torment, torturous blow
New lamps for old, Bright shiny gold
Innocent youth, Falsehood for truth
The eye of the needle, the loss of the thread
Triumphant victor, glorious dead
The cause becomes duty, duty's the blow
Which kills the picture: death of the show
New lamps for old, Bright shiny gold
Innocent youth, Falsehood for truth
New lamps for old, Bright shiny gold
uh... yeeah...
So new,
So new,
New lamps for all
New lamps
