Turn The Lights Back On — текст песни (Lucy Kaplansky)

Enough with the mood lighting, I`m not in the mood
Apparently I don`t have the right attitude
Do you think this is a sense, maybe that`s what we need
Then we could channel some of the dead air between you and me

Dry your new age tears, let`s stick to the facts
Don`t need your phony pearls of wisdom, you can have them back
Don`t want your earnest sympathy, keep it to yourself
If I`m gonna be alone I`d rather be my myself

CHORUS
Turn the lights back on
Turn the lights back on
That trusting girl you knew is dead and gone
She`s dead and gone

You`ve read The Road Less Traveled
You think you know everything
A little knowledge can be such a dangerous thing
If you`d look in the mirror I could tell you what you`d see
It`d be a real education, tuition`s free

How could you just sit there all those years
And watch me throw away
Everything I wanted and worked for
And the dreams I couldn`t even say
Didn`t it ever occur to you to once ask me why
I guess it didn`t, and I think that`s maybe worse than a lie

CHORUS

I was deaf, dumb and blind when I came to you
I trusted you, you said I was supposed to
But you couldn`t understand me, you couldn`t even see
Your hand before your face, much less me
So you told me all this stuff about you, pretended it was about me
And I`d have been better off with nothing

CHORUS (2x)
