On Vineland, past the candle shrine
That burns on every night
For someone
She lets herself go
Like an angel in the snow
She lays down on her back
Down on her back she goes

Take me over when I'm gone
Take me over, make me strong
Take me over when I'm gone
Will they burn for me?

On Vineland past the candle shrine
That melts into the street design
She waits for someone
Tonight she'll give herself away
She'll break apart all by herself
It's so easy how we come undone

Take me over when I'm gone
Take me over, make me strong
Take me over when I'm gone
Will they burn for me?
She pulls me in, strips me down
She pulls me in, turns me out
She pulls me in, strips me down

Take me over when I'm gone
Take me over, make me strong
Take me over when I'm gone
Will they burn for me?
Will they burn for me?

--Dishwalla--- Candleburn

the song means this:. "I wrote that last summer after coming across a roadside shrine in Los Angeles on my way to rehearsal. For four weeks I passed this candle filled shrine twice a day, and yet I never saw the person who tended the shrine. In the middle of LA, which can often seem so fucked up and twisted, here was something so real and touching it was intense."

that was a quote from jr richards, the lead singer of dishwalla
