Lyrics

take me to the light, take me to the mystery of life, take me to the light, let me see the edges of the night, he's got the answer - we'll live forever, take me to the light, give me what i crave, he knows the meaning, he shows we're dreaming, take me to the light, and let me be your body slave, body slave, she said - i wanted all the wealth and fame, fancy name, my life in lights, the time was right, and i was right for the role, but nobody liked me, he came along when my life was down, hit the the ground, i didn't hesitate - we meditated, and he sated my soul, he took control, now fame is just another illusion, my name will one day be forgotten, but in these times of confusion, i know that i have been chosen, take me to the light, take me to the mystery of life, take me to the light, let me see the edges of the night, he's got the answer - we'll live forever, take me to the light, give me what i crave, he knows the meaning, he shows we're dreaming, take me to the light, and let me be your body slave, body slave, she says - i never feel a sense of greed or of need, he will provide and i'll survive, on the light of his love, begging on the freeways, he gives freely of all that's learned, in return, some minor favors like delivering the savior, a dollar or two or bringing you, money's just another confusion, and destiny can be an illusion, so let him be the one decide, you'll go to paradise, your soul's the only price, take me. take me to the light, take me to the light, take me to the mystery of life, take me to the light, let me see the edges of the night, take me to the light, take me to the mystery of life, take me to the light, let me see the edges of the night
