Power+Light Lyrics

behind the liquor store
i break down
and in some f****** body's safe house
we're not the way we intended us
not even close
medicine rush or clarifier?
dangerous candy or safe fire?
you're supposed to be the first to go
not the last one standing

you coming undone gorgeous
spewing in the hot wind like a virus

honeysuckle voodoo
smoke under the door of this hotel room
how did you find me?
spooky mojo and divining rod

a soggy mounting hope
you take it out
you take it out, it glows

i'd rather be f****** than fighting
anyway they're the same
i'd rather be f****** than talking
anyway they're both confusing

sodium popper
it's getting darker and darker
your temples throb with effort
and your notes hit every target hard

a soggy mounting hope
you take it out
you take it out, it glows

i'd rather be f****** than fighting
anyway they're the same
i'd rather be f****** than talking
anyway they're both confusing

this solution
your hired hands say it's okay

it's getting later and later
later and later
later and later

power and light purring soft and low
a pilot light burning

it's getting later and later
later and later
later and later

silence is eloquent too, and kind
hearts thrust into heartbreak soup

desperate times call for desperate pleasures
if you must, then, degrade
traveling souls like us
the wicked, the carnies
we all eat up this swill
these f***** bedtime stories

desperate times call for desperate pleasures
if you must degrade, do it quiet

power and light purring soft and low
a pilot light burning

it's getting later and later
later and later
later and later

grab me, grab your skeleton key
and don't forget to breathe

waste of s***e

grab me, grab me
and don't forget to breathe

who's the loser drunk on mystery?
artificially sweet
too dumb to go home

at the wet end of a good soaking
it's too late to go home

he said "do you know what it feels like to be broke?"

who's the loser running down the street?
artificially clean
it's too late to go home

he said "do you know what it feels like to be broke?"

just look at the pictures
and the spring cleaning debris
stumbling into something more moving than biology

red mullets are only red under stress
pale pink otherwise
but cherry ice and blue paint
are chemical debris

stumbling into something more brutal than biology

wax in your ears
wax in mine

then heads roll and heads roll

lashed by wet ponytails
you're seasick, brittle and grim
stumbling into something more brutal than chemical debris

wax in your ears
wax in mine

then heads roll and heads roll

an orchid
a bread-less art
sun dog coma
silent partners

highway snow
a garish gray
sun dog coma
i can't make you go away

an orchid
a bread-less art
sun dog coma
silent partners

what if you come to me, what then?
baby, my religion
you seep in
you seep in

highway snow
a garish gray
sun dog coma
i can't make you go away

i can't make you go away
