The Regulator

Oh, I see that lantern
 Trimmed low burning in our home
 
 And though I feel like crying
 I swear tonight, I'll cry no more
 
 And how many times have I prayed
 
 That I would get lost along the way?
 
 Dream with the feathers of angels stuffed beneath your head
 The regulator's swinging pendulum
 Dream with the feathers of angels stuffed beneath your head
 The regulator's swinging pendulum
 Come with me and walk the longest mile

 Is his wallet leather?
 Is his wallet fat?
 For not a year later, it's got you lying on your back
 ♪
 You should have closed your windows and got another dog
 You should have chained up all the doors and switched up all the locks
 And how many times have I prayed
 
 The angels would speed me away
