Oh, I see that lantern
Burning in our home
Though I feel like crying
I swear tonight I'll cry no more
How many times have I prayed
That I would get lost along the way?
Along the way, along the way
The regulator's swinging pendulum
The regulator's swinging pendulum
Come with me and walk the longest mile
Is his wallet leather?
Is his wallet fat?
For not one year later
It's got you lying on your back
Should have closed your windows
And got another dog
Should have chained up all the doors
Switched up all the locks
All the locks, all the locks
And how many times have I prayed?
Angels would speed me, speed me away
Speed me away, speed me away
The regulator's swinging pendulum
The regulator's swinging pendulum
Come with me and walk the longest mile
Come with me and walk the longest mile
