lyrics
(a match strikes) (testify... testify...) You came to town with velvet talk A suitcase full of borrowed light You sold my sisters moonlit chalk And called the powder second sight (sight, sight) But I have seen behind your shine I've seen the mirror and the wire (the wire! the wire!) Take off that halo! (take it off!) Take off that halo! It's rusting green around your head Take off that halo! (now!) Take off that halo! And say the things you really said (say it! say it!) Your pamphlet promised me the sun For only three easy installments down Well honey, I already own one It rises free over this town (every day, every day) Take off that halo! (take it off!) Take off that halo! It's rusting green around your head Take off that halo! (now!) Take off that halo! I lit your tent with your own matches (burn, baby) Watched your angels run in batches (run, run, run) No refunds on the truth (the organ answers every phrase) Take off that halo! Take off that halo! It's rusting green around your head Take off that halo! Take off that halo! (keep the suitcase) (leave the light)
