Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the velvet darkness of the blackest night
Burning bright, there's a guiding star
No matter what or who you are
[Chorus]
There's a light
Over at the Frankenstein place
There's a light
Burning in the fireplace
There's a light, light
In the darkness of everybody's life
[Bridge]
The darkness must go down the river of night's dreaming
Flow morphia slow, let the sun and light come streaming
Into my life
Into my life
[Chorus]
There's a light
Over at the Frankenstein place
There's a light
Burning in the fireplace
[Outro]
There's a light, a light
In the darkness of everybody's life
Written by: Richard Hartley, Richard O'Brien
