Resplendent in a Darkness

[Verse 1]
Is this a movie that I'm starring in?
Is it a comedy? It doesn't seem to be to me
The scripts are changing nearly every day
I never know what to say, whether to stay or go away

[Chorus]
And all the little imps are gasping, rasping, grasping as they try
To steal the stars from the sky
The crescent moon is singing, "Can you jump a little higher?", yes
I cannot see you, I confess
Resplendent in a darkness

[Verse 2]
Is this the last time that I'll see your face?
Before the curtains fall, and the evil spirits call
I'm not searching for a state of grace
Just a little kindness, say, goes such a long way

[Chorus]
And all the little imps are screeching, preaching, reaching as they try
To steal the stars from the sky
The crescent moon is singing, "Can you jump a little higher?", yes
I cannot see you, I confess
Resplendent in a darkness

[Verse 3]
Is this a battle that I'm fighting in?
Isn't it frightening? But then, why am I laughing?
The blood is grenadine, the screams are fake
Somebody's on the make, and all for badness' sake

[Chorus]
And all the little imps are weeping, meeping, leaping as they try
To steal the stars from the sky
The crescent moon is singing, "Can you jump a little higher?", yes
I cannot see you, I confess
Resplendent in a darkness
