If this is heaven, then I'm in hell
If trust is misfortune, then wish me well

While I think of sadness baby

Your light shines through, your light shines through
Your light shines through

chorus:

Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day

I've lost control of my darker side
A world all for free, on a nastier ride

*And I have crossed myself in anger
All your mercy can't save me, all your mercy can't save me
All your mercy can't save me

Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day

lead:

It's beggar's day
You know it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day

See this love, I've stored for you
Wheel it and deal it, but our feelin's are true

repeat *

chorus (2x)
