Lyrics
Silence On The Eighth
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.
Test your memory
not about arithmetic
or the things that you should already know
it's 11:30 and it's too early
to close your eyes
just to say goodnight
Don't turn out the light
don't say goodnight
we can't let you dream
don't close your eyes
don't say goodnight
we can't let you down
The lakes lifted off the ocean floor
were smoking cigarettes
try not to forget
anything she said
or hollow me bones to show
how spineless I am
Don't turn out the light
don't say goodnight
we can't let you dream
don't close your eyes
don't say goodnight (it's 11:30)
we can't let you down (and it's still early)
