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

While I think of sadness, baby
The light shines through
The light shines through
The light shines through

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 her
All your mercy can't save her
All your mercy can't save her

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

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 feelings are true

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 her

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

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