Burning of the midnight lamp


The morning is dead and the day, is, too.
The step is up here to meet me but the velvet fool.
All my loveliness I have felt today.
It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away.

And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone.

Now the smiling portrait of you is still hanging on my frowning wall
It really doesn't really doesn't bother me to watch at all
It's just the ah ever fallinglove dust that makes it so hard for me to see
That forgotten earring clear on the floor facing coolly the one at the door

And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone.
Yeah yeah.
Lonely lonely lonely.
Ah. oh. loneliness is such a drag.

So here I sit to face that same old fire place
Getting' ready for the same old explosion goin' through my mind.
Yes, soon enough time will tell about the circus in the wishing well
And someone who will buy and sell for me, someone who will tow my bail

And I continue to burn the same old lamp alone
Yeah midnight lamp,
Can you hear me callin' you?
So lonely. gotta blow my mine
Yeah, yeah. lonely lonely.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Living Colour è un gruppo musicale statunitense di genere alternative metal, formatosi a New York nel 1984. Considerati tra i maggiori esponenti del funk metal, hanno influenzato molti gruppi nu metal successivi come Sevendust, P.O.D. e Limp Bizkit. Il loro sound si caratterizza per l'uso di riff funky, groove serrati e testi spesso politici e sociali. La formazione originale comprendeva Vernon Reid (chitarra), Corey Glover (voce), Doug Wimbish (basso) e Mujahid Abdul-Rahman (batteria). Il loro album di debutto, *Living Colour*, uscito nel 1987, ottenne un grande successo di critica e pubblico. Il singolo "Cult of Personality" divenne un inno per la generazione grunge degli anni '90. Nel corso della loro carriera hanno pubblicato altri album di successo come *Time's Up* (1989) e *Stain* (1993). Living Colour si è sciolto nel 1995, ma ha fatto il suo ritorno nel 2000 con un nuovo album, *The Book of Love*. Dopo diversi anni di pausa, hanno pubblicato nel 2017 l'album *Shade*, che ha riscosso un buon successo. Living Colour è considerato uno dei gruppi più influenti del rock alternativo e funk metal.
