Well you're up all night and your head's down low
If you can see your own kite shed a little light
You know a burden ain't a bust, you are the only way to trust ya
It's only fair it burns up in that rust
Lay down, Martha, lay down the holy banner flag
Hold out, Martha, help is surely on its way
And it's not right, don't bask in the glory of mine
But oh no they cannot take that part away
They ate up all their cake and they drank their own wine
They were always on the take, will you shed a little light
Well you know the burden ain't a gust, the only path to love is touch
And now I know that all that ain't probably amount to much
Lay down, Martha, lay all that alabaster down
There's no master, help will surely come around
I don't ask, I don't bask in the glory oh no
And it's up to me if I don't wear a mask
Well you're up all night and your neighbors don't know
Man your neighbors don't know, so shed a little light on it
You know a burden ain't a bust, you know the truth's been made a crutch
No no no only them who's pauper lays him up
