Telethon

when i'm on will you leave me on?
when i'm on will you leave me on?
and when I'm down will you let me get under?
take cover, can't hide without a house
newspapers blow over
can't walk past the driveway without asking for directions
so full of stupid questions
when the daylight's like flourescent lights
i'm going to take my time night by night
when the daylight's like flourescent lights
I hang my hands over your eyes to hide.
when i'm on will you rescue me?
i want to watch that telethon
got hung up on the work, can't get it over, soldier
when she says nothing enough, she doesn't mean don't try to fix it
make plans with your otherhand
dream without concession
when the daylight's like flourescent lights
i'm going to take my time night by night
when the daylight's like flourescent lights
i hang my hands over your eyes,
i hang my hands over your eyes to hide.
bruised billy joel - new york state of mind (3x)
take cover, take pleasure
