[Verse 1]
A vial of hope and a vial of pain,
In the light, they both looked the same
Poured them out on into the world,
On every boy and every girl

[Hook]
It's in the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival,
If the Neon Bible is right

[Verse 2]
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

[Hook]
It's in the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival,
If the Neon Bible is right

[Bridge]
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!
[Verse 3]
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

[Hook]
It's in the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival,
If the Neon Bible is true
