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

No, no, no

It'll only bear the poor without a cost

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 of dust

The only path to love is touch

I know that all that ain't proper mounts 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 (ah, ah, ah)

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 of us

You know that truth's been made a crutch

No, no, no

Only there the pauper laid him up
