Lyrics
You Are A Light
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.
Tangled in the midst of all the trust
The way you pissed inside the brain file
Technology drives
Show me your dots now
Who was it that said the world
Was mainly all divorces and spare change?
Let's lethalize our slingshots
And swallow propane
You are a light
The calm in the day
You are a light
The calm in the day
Senior year abroad
I ripped the pea out of the pod
In store for three months of exile in Spain
Where was the danger?
Watch out for the gypsy children in the electric dresses
They're insane
I hear they live in crematoriums
And smoke your remains
You are a light
The calm in the day
You are a light
The calm in the day
My drive stick, gotta love it, automatic
Oh, everybody's gotta ride in something
High life, lived, comatoased him, bring it on in
Oh, I hope it arrives by Monday
Dry ice, skid, button your slips and porridge and nippers
I have to die on Sunday
Irate kid, laundromat spinners, and let's act like winners
And oh, gotta roam 'cause I am the isolator
Gotta roam 'cause I am the isolator
