Well, you're up all night
And your head's down low
If you can see your own kite
Shed a little light on it
You know a burden ain't a bust
You are the only way to trust ya
It's only fair it burns up in that rust
Lay down, Martha
Lay down the holy banner flag
Hold out, Martha
Help is surely on its way
And it's not right
Don't bask in the glory of mine
No, no, no, they cannot take that part away
Ate up all their cake
And they drank their own wine
They were always on the take
Will you shed a little light on it?
Well, you know the burden ain't a gust
The only path to love is touch
Oh no, no, no, that ain't probably amount to much
Lay down, Martha
Lay all that alabaster down
There's no master
Help will surely come around
I don't ask
I don't bask in the glory, oh no, oh
And it's up to me if I don't wear a mask
Well, you're up all night
And your neighbors don't know
Man, your neighbors don't know
(So shed a little light on it)
You know the burden ain't a gust
You know that truth's been made a crutch
No no no, only them who's pauper lays him up
