Well, youre up all night
And your heads down low
If you can see your own kite shed a little light on it
You know a burden aint a bust
You are the only way to trust ya
No, no, no
Itll only bear the poor without a cost
Lay down, Martha
Lay down the holy banner flag
Hold out, Martha
Help is surely on its way
And its not right
Dont bask in the glory of mine
No, no, no,
They cannot 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 aint of dust
The only path to love is touch
I know that all that aint proper mounts to much
Lay down, Martha
Lay all that alabaster down
Theres no master
Help will surely come around
I dont ask
I dont bask in the glory, oh no ah, ah, ah
And its up to me if I dont wear a mask
Well, youre up all night
And your neighbors dont know
Man, your neighbors dont know
So shed a little light on it
You know the burden aint of us
You know that truths been made a crutch
No, no, no
Only there the pauper laid him up
