Red Candles Lyrics by Danielle Howle

Live at McKissick Museum

1996

[Verse]
I speak from passive agony
Constant work of making me happy
Sisyphus don't know he ain't alone
I'm so dull with all of the doin'
Why won't someone come see me to it
Maybe I should quit portable companionship
[Pre-Chorus]
There are some red candles from the closet
I'm going to light them up and let it be Christmas
There are some red candles from the closet
I'm going to light them up and let it be Christmas
[Chorus]
Do you hear me yet?
Tapping on your forehead like a window
I'm crowning it with with all the mightiness of love
That's turned up on its edge and ready to slice
[Verse]
If I could be stone I would do it
If I could go home I would move it
If I could shut up maybe you would talk to me
[Pre-Chorus]
There are some red candles from the closet
I'm going to light them up and let it be Christmas
There are some red candles from the closet
I'm going to light them up and let it be Christmas
[Chorus]
Do you hear me yet?
Tapping on your forehead like a window
I'm crowning it with all the mightiness of love
That's turned up on its edge
Do you hear me yet?
Screaming like a broken noiseless voice
I'm not proud of it
But get beyond to what I fear
And fear, it isn't, it is, just dreaming this out
