You walk you run you toil all day
With the midnight oil, awake you stay
Flickering though with incessant glow
until the residuum: the residuum
It lubes some lips
And criticism creeps
The flame comes low
Flickering though with incessant glow
You fall, you cry, within you scream
Still swiftly swimming nether stream
And with the flame aglow
Flickering though with incessant glow
Until the soot, alone the soot
Choke those throat
Throw silence afloat
Higher goes the flame with the fuel inflow
Flickering blaze, with incessant glow
With the midnight oil, awake you stay
Flickering though with incessant glow
until the residuum: the residuum
It lubes some lips
And criticism creeps
The flame comes low
Flickering though with incessant glow
You fall, you cry, within you scream
Still swiftly swimming nether stream
And with the flame aglow
Flickering though with incessant glow
Until the soot, alone the soot
Choke those throat
Throw silence afloat
Higher goes the flame with the fuel inflow
Flickering blaze, with incessant glow
