Lyrics
The Lights Are On
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This song is by the Bottle Rockets.
It is on 24 hours a day.
my name is Steve Brownell and I had help from my friend Joe Pratt.
You have to capo the second fret, and there is a lot of walking!
Honey hold me up, take my hand.
If I fall down, dust me off again.
Think I forgot who I am.
So here's my keys to the van.
Chorus
Allthough I'm seein' two
I'm countin' on,
I'm countin' on one of you
Honey hold me tight, I'll smell your hair
tell me that you will allways be there.
Tell me once, tell me again.
I need time, for that one to sink in.
Chorus
The lights are on, their headed for the door,
They'll kick us out, just like before.
