The ConstruKction of Light
[Part 1]

[Instrumental]


[Part 2]

[Chorus 1]
Pain, day, sky, beauty, die, black, joy, love
Empty, day, life, die, pain, passion, joy, black
Day, hate, beauty, die, life, joy ache, empty
Day, pain, die, love, passion, joy, black, light

[Verse 1]
And if God is dead, what am I?
A fleck of dirt on the wing of a fly
Hurtling to earth through a hole in the sky
A hole in the sky
And if Warhol's a genius, what am I?
A speck of lint on the penis of an alien
Buried in gelatin, beneath the sands of Venus

[Chorus 2]
Time, sun, hurt, trust, peace, dark, rage, sad
White, rain, sun, anger, hurt, soft, trust, night
Rage, rain, white, hope, dark, sacred, sun, time
Time, trust, hurt, rage, anger, rain white, light
[Verse 2]
And if a bird can speak, who once was a dinosaur
And a dog can dream; should it be implausible?
That a man might supervise the construction of light
The construction of light

[Chorus 3]
Pain, day, sky, beauty, black, die, joy, love
Empty, time, sun, hurt, trust, peace, dark, rage
Sad, white, rain, hate, anger, hope, sacred, passion
Life, night, ache, soft, light
