Turn On The Light

You run down the strip, down the strip right through me The rain on the windscreen, blistering the stop sign Turn in the rubies your mother did buy you Through this land I roar You made me bold like a whore, wish I'd never been born Got a good looking corpse hanging on to me tightly Bless this strip as it runs right through me Bless this strip as it runs right through me She fades to the background, proof reads a story Kills all the characters and crosses out the heroine Kissing an American, she told me she bought me Through this land I roar She made me bold like a whore, wish I'd never been born Got a good looking corpse hanging on to me tightly Bless this strip as it runs right through me Bless this strip as it runs right through me Love, turn on the light It's so dark in there, inside her life And I know, what it's like To feel loved and to not like your self She dragged all the blood to the back of my brain Filled to the line, smoked on an elephant's tusk Punch drunk, bitten, and bleeding I became Tame, feeble in the heroine one of us And I hear mutants screaming And I ride on the crest of waves And I stuck as a joker's feeling And I still hear demons breathing, and Love, turn on the light It's so dark in there, inside her life And I know, what it's like To feel loved and to know like your self The sun had dropped, I'm sweating in a carcass I've given up on me, I've given up on Marcus I'm carrying my casket, looking for the enemy I'm down on my knees, surrendering to Valerie And all, I feel my head is racing And I, feel my shoulders bracing I, know I'm sick to my bones And I, know I can't get back home now Love, turn on the light It's so dark in there, inside her life And I know, what it's like To feel loved and to know like your self Take me far, from this sweet city stench Where friends all betray each other And I'm just another lover to a Take me far, from this sweet city stench Where friends all betray each other And I'm just another lover to a friend To a friend, to a friend, to a friend Oh take me far, oh take me far, oh take me far, oh take me far --- Turn on the Light - Jamie T
