I am blind and I am sleeping
I must wake up I must gain my sight
Is it true what I said
everything would turn out all right
The ultimate thing in the whole wide world
Is to hold your lantern high
the ultimate objective of
living is to one day die
Brother could you spare a light
and a cigarette also
could you smoke it for me too
I had to give them up you know
Brother could you spare a candle
Seems my lantern’s lost its light
Somewhere on the unseen path
I navigate through second sight
If you run into a stranger
on your blind path let him by
listen close as he goes past you
he’ll reveal the ultimate lie
