Lyrics

They held their heads with laughs of pain
They learned from men who'd just refrain
From glancing at a mirror's face

Seven screaming diz-busters
Who lurked behind the rose
Had iron for a bloodstream
And ice behind their eyes

On each and all those holy nights
When duster's dust becomes the sale
And Lucifer the light
The light

Yeah

They're long, so long, this time of year
When stars be crossed by twirling fear
You don't suppose I'd prove surprised

Well, seven screaming diz-busters
Should go the route and die
Without that warmth they've learned to crave
With hardened smiles and evil signs

Ah, yeah

Yeah, all right

Bury me near the secret cove
So they'll not know the way
Bury me there behind the rose
So they'll not rile my grave
I'll not reveal whose name's still lost

Well, their laughs of pain, ah-ha-ha-ha!
And their harder smiles
And their rigid arms
And their evil signs

Yeah, the longer days, ah, the longer nights
Oh yeah, yeah, they're longer
Yeah, they’re longer still

On each and all those holy nights
When duster’s dust becomes the sale
And Lucifer the light

(Lucifer the light)
(Lucifer the light)
(Lucifer the light)
(Lucifer the light)
(Lucifer the light) Oh, the light
(Lucifer the light) I can't stand the light
(Lucifer the light) I can't stand it now
(Lucifer the light) No
(Lucifer the light) Can't stand the light
(Lucifer the light)
(Lucifer the light) Can't stand the light
(Lucifer the light) Can't stand the light
(Lucifer the light)
(Lucifer the light) Can't stand the light
(Lucifer the light) Oh no!
(Lucifer the light) Aaahhh!
(Lucifer the light)
(Lucifer the light) I can't I can't
(Lucifer the light) No
(Lucifer the light) Can't stand it
(Lucifer the light) Can't stand it, no
(Lucifer the light) Can't stand it
(Lucifer the light) Can't
(Lucifer the light) Can't, I can't, I can't, can't, can't, can't stand it
(Lucifer the light)
(Lucifer the light) Just can't stand the light
(Lucifer the light) one
(Lucifer the light) two
(Lucifer the light) three
(Lucifer the light) four
(Lucifer the light) five
(Lucifer the light) six
(Lucifer the light) And seven
