D         C                 G             D
  I had a friend who kept a candle in his pocket
D            C                 G                D
  He used to touch it when the wind was blowing high
D            C                  G                 D
  I guess it made him feel like he could buck the system
D             C                G                D
  And when it flickered out we laid him down to die
    D    F      G
  I turn on the light,
            C                G                 F
  Turn on a million blinding brilliant white incendiary lights
   D      F      G
  A beacon in the night,
C             G            F
  I'll burn relentlessly until my juice runs dry

D              C               G                  D
  And I'll construct a rack of tempered beams and trusses
D      C                   G            D
  And equip it with just a million tiny suns
D         C             G             D
  I'll install upon the roof of my compartment
D               C         G               D
  And place tinfoil on my floor and on my walls
            D    F      G
  Then I'll turn on the light,
            C                G                 F
  Turn on a million blinding brilliant white incendiary lights
    D      F      G
  A beacon in the night,
C             G            F
  I'll burn relentlessly until my juice runs dry

  And I'll 
  D  G           C             F
  Bu  urn, like a Roman fucking candle
  D  G           C            F
  Bu  urn, like a chasm in the night
  D  G          C           F
  Bu  urn, for a miniscule duration
     D         C         G            D
  Ecstatic immolation, incorrigible delight
