A vial of hope and a vial of pain
00:20
In the light they both looked the same
00:22
Poured them out on into the world
00:25
On every boy and every girl
00:28
It's in the neon Bible, the neon Bible
00:30
Not much chance for survival
00:36
If the neon Bible is right
00:39
00:42
Take the poison of your age
00:47
Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page
00:50
What I know is what you know is right
00:53
In the city it's the only light
00:56
It's the neon Bible, the neon Bible
00:58
Not much chance for survival
01:04
If the Neon Bible is right
01:06
01:10
Oh God! well look at you now!
01:15
Oh, you lost it but you don't know how
01:18
In the light of a golden calf
01:21
Oh God, I had to laugh
01:23
Take the poison of your age
01:26
Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page
01:29
It was wrong but you said it was right
01:32
In the future I will read at night
01:35
In the neon Bible, the neon Bible
01:37
Not much chance for survival
01:43
If the Neon Bible is true
01:45
01:50

[English]
A vial of hope and a vial of painIn the light they both looked the same
Poured them out on into the world
On every boy and every girl
It's in the neon Bible, the neon Bible
Not much chance for survival
If the neon Bible is right
Take the poison of your age
Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page
What I know is what you know is right
In the city it's the only light
It's the neon Bible, the neon Bible
Not much chance for survival
If the Neon Bible is right
Oh God! well look at you now!
Oh, you lost it but you don't know how
In the light of a golden calf
Oh God, I had to laugh
Take the poison of your age
Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page
It was wrong but you said it was right
In the future I will read at night
In the neon Bible, the neon Bible
Not much chance for survival
If the Neon Bible is true
