Once I saw a light in a dark and lonesome place
I was diffident but I couldn't resist its lure
Oh, sweet light, illuminate the night
Oh, sweet light, illuminate the night
Oh, precious light I will follow you wherever you go
So I ran after it, faster and faster
Further on into a deadly maze
I thought she was a consideration
Instead she was a ghost light for me
When I realized my error it was far too late
The light disappeared and I was lost in a murderous pit
Oh, you fool, couldn't you see
Oh, you fool, couldn't you see
A heart of wax, a brain of gum, too good to be true
So I ran after it, faster and faster
Further on into a deadly maze
I thought she was a consideration
Instead she was a ghost light for me
Fighting my way out
A dark hand grasping after me
The only thing I know
Keep moving or die finally free
So I ran after it, faster and faster
Further on into a deadly maze
I thought she was a consideration
Instead she was a ghostlight for me
