A Cleaner Light - Kristin Hersh

A high

Thats a swell take on this situation

I was trying to rectify

I was trying to skip out on this high

Keep away from the freaks on the fringe

They only talk to you

cause you give them a good excuse to cry

But in a cleaner light, its ok In a cleaner light, its ok In a better light, its ok In a better light, its ok This strange old sunshine beats me senseless

But its supposed to be keeping me healthy

Its a lie

Youre a strange old thing that keeps me senseless

But youre supposed to be keeping me company

But in a cleaner light, its ok In a cleaner light, its ok In a better light, its ok In a better light, its ok I wake up feeling fragile

Its nothing the tv couldnt cure

Or lying here for my whole life

But in a cleaner light, its ok In a cleaner light, its ok In a better light, its ok In a better light, its ok They only talk to you cause youre there
