shine on backwards oh masters of my fate tell me great ones just how i rate should i bow my head or scream your holy names tell me dear ones am i still in the game shine on up down to you dear lords i pray give me answers and happiness today should i dress in white or wear thee around my neck tell me great ones just how to write the check to pay for my sins and keep my lords in animal skins to pay for my acts and keep my lords in white cadillacs
