When the Lights Go Up
Flash of the morning
on the back of my eye.
It’s hard saying that I love you,
but I’m gonna try
to put away the ghosts now
Halloween is over
and try to find the words that are
sometimes too hard to say.
Don’t stare into the filament
‘cause you might burn your eyes.
Those pretty coloured lights I heard
were dangerous
Let’s throw a party, baby
and invite all our friends.
We’ll have it at the Projection Room
I hear it’s easy to rent.
We could stay there late,
until your feet get tired of dancing.
And I’ll be good and ready to go home with you
when the lights go up.
A thousand watts of power
drifting down the wires.
Those pretty coloured lights I heard
were dangerous.
Don’t stare into the filament
‘cause you might burn your eyes.
Those pretty coloured lights I heard
were dangerous
Christmas is over, it’s the New Year
and it’s colder.
The radio in the car plays
“Put Your Head on My Shoulder.”
There’s no words left to say now,
no fathers, no gods to betray now.
But I still miss you at the end of the day now
when the lights go up.
So let’s melt into the shadows
and disappear like fireflies.
Those pretty coloured lights I’ve heard
are dangerous
