about

there's a rocking word play on “steal light,” which imagines a conversation between god and the devil, although it is not always clear just who is saying what

lyrics

you don’t believe a thing you tell me
but you tell me anyway
it might be something beautiful
i can’t really say
cuz god don’t listen if you’re lying when you’re praying
something everybody knows
something ain’t nobody saying

now i’ve got a simple explanation for the ordinary man
but it’s a mission quite impossible if you don’t understand
how it feels when you’re good
how it cuts when you fall
you make it all complicated, man
it ain’t complicated

don’t stare long at a rising sun
steal light for when the day is done

buy into the myth
jump into the fire
tell me what you want
tell me your every heart’s desire
tell it to the breeze
tell it to the sea
tell it to your mama
they’ve all listened to me

cuz i was there at the beginning
i’m gonna be there in the end
looking for a chance to introduce myself again
let me take your coat
let me take your time
i’ll catch you later, baby
sooner of later

don’t stare long at a rising sun
steal light for when the day is done

so what are you gonna do?
where you gonna run?
how are you gonna know if there is something wonderful
you need to feel?
man, you can’t feel anything
i look deep in your eyes
nothing

don’t stare long at a rising sun
steal light for when the day is done
