Turn On The Light - Jamie T

You run down the strip, down the strip right through me

The rain on the windscreen, blistering a stop sign

Turn in the rubies your mother did buy you

Through this land I roar

You make 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, proofreads 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 make 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 the life

And I know what it’s like

To feel loved and to not like yourself

She dragged all the blood to the back of my brain

Peel to the light, smoked on an elephant’s tusk

Punch-drunk, bitten and bleeding

I became tame, feral in the herald, one of us

And I hear mutants screaming out

Ride on the crest of waves

And I stopped as a joker’s feeling

And I still hear demons breathing, and

Love, turn on the light

It’s so dark in there, inside the life

And I know what it’s like

To feel loved and to not like yourself

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

I feel my shoulder’s bracing

I know I’m sick to my bones and

I know can’t get back home and

Love, turn on the light

It’s so dark in there, inside the life

And I know what it’s like

To feel loved and to not like yourself

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
