Cocaine Lights - Phosphorescent

In the darkness

After the cocaine lights

I will miss you

More than ever

And to color my eyes into rose

Is to ask of my beaten bones

To be less of meat and stone

And more of feather

But lord they’re rolling me away

Ain’t they rolling me away

Don’t they roll oh oh oh

In the morning in the kitchen

I can hear my own blood clicking

So I stand there and I listen

Til the glowing begins

There is light that pours sweet from new hips

There is beer that pours sweet through my lips

There is gold where the cold button sits

It’s just a showy amen

And in the hallway, in a slip

She says 'hey, don’t you like my newest trick'

And I say «yeah that’s a pretty good trick

Would you show me again'

And lord I truly am awake

And lord, truly I am afraid

And, lord, truly I remain…

In the darkness

After the cocaine lights

I will miss you

With no warning

I will recover my sense of grace

And rediscover my rightful place

Yes and cover my face

With the morning
