In the future I will read at night

.
(Neon Bible, Arcade Fire)
.
A vial of hope and a vial of pain,
In the light they both looked the same.
Pourred them out on into the world,
On every boy and every girl.
.
It's in the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival,
If the Neon Bible is right.
.
Take the poison of your age,
Don’t lick your fingers when you turn the page,
What I know is what you know is right,
In the city it's the only light.
.
It's the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival,
If the Neon Bible is right.
.
Oh God! well look at you now!
Oh! you lost it, but you don’t know how!
In the light of a golden calf,
Oh God! I had to laugh!
.
Take the poison of your age,
Don’t lick your fingers when you turn the page,
It was wrong but you said it was right,
In the future I will read at night.
.
In the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival,
If the Neon Bible is true.

[Hope and pain... in this light they look the same]
