That Light Always Goes Out - The Teeth

Don’t hurt yourself

Like you’re known to do

Don’t look for what’s not there

You’ve been running around with those butterflies

Putting tulips in their hair

Well you should know by now

That you’ll only lose

There’s nothing you can say, nothing you can do

You got too many ideas building up inside of you

And they’re leaking out your shoes

And there’s no one to show them to

No, there’s no one to show them to

Well she wants to be, with every boy she finds obscene

Just to know, they want her

And she wants to show, how good she sings

Just to prove, she’s talented

Oh, Oh, Oh made it so

She’s starving for attention Oh No Oh, Oh

But I guess you can’t see, with that glimmer in your eye

But that light always goes out in the middle of the night

When you wake up from dreams of big black spiders in the sink

Who is laying by your side?

And who makes you feel alive?

Who makes you feel alive?

And so there is no telling what you need through the sheets

Some darker place that you ignore until it violently repeats

And what is it the hand she brushed across your thigh

That made you realize you’ll be alone until the day you die
