Lyrics
Flashing Lights
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.
I am wearing a white long sleeved button-down.
the pink colors behind the clouds tonight
mirror the softer shades of your nightgown
as the neuro-transmitters go crazy inside of me
you swear you're leaving town
empty promises empty promises.
I am watching the way the wind seems to pass straight through your body.
when you run your fingernail along my neck, you spill some water on me.
you say you're as good as gone
well, don't look now but here comes the dawn
empty promises empty promises.
empty promises empty promises.
