Foolish and unguarding, following blindly without fear Skippin' school and hoppin' fences Making love down by the pear Love like in a man's react Constellations in the black The lights from the chemical plant Burn bright in the night like an old kerosene lamp From a car parked by the ocean What a vision to behold The lights from the chemical plant She says my heart is like an orphan And your words are like home I do not deserve such kindness Keeps me warm down to my arms We bear some strange familiar likeness To a man I feel I know As if to keep each other safe They spent the night and then embrace And the lights from the chemical plant Burn bright in the night like an old kerosene lamp When all seemed unstable I could watch how they were there The lights from the chemical plant All the years pass by the' So I'm ' And whenever things got rough, the pain they share But no matter when death comes It is on ' She sat next to him And tried hard to prepare How can you still see them? Through the window if you look They are still there Open up your eyes Just once more, darling Cause without I know I just can't bear The lights from the chemical plant Burn bright in the night like an old kerosene lamp I was sure that they would always be there And one day they were gone The lights from the chemical plant
