It seems you think I promised you the moon
You must be seeing stars
The callous future with a nervousness soon
But that's all in the past

You got off light
Lying there in your own world tonight
Turn off the charm, it's too damn bright
Hey you got off light

The rude rumors you started were partially true
You should be very proud
How will it be when they catch up with you
You're standing face to face with the jeering crowd

You got off light
Lying there in your own world tonight
In the dark with your second sight
You got off light

You didn't make , that's a big mistake
I should have checked on your credit
I pressed your hand in a clammy handshake
And I knew that I'd regret it

You got off light
Lying there in your own world tonight
But you're just too civilized to fight
You got off light

You got off light
Lying there in your own world tonight
Turn off the charm, it's too damn bright
You got off light
