The Mountain Goats - Night Light lyrics
Your rating:
Pull my mask so tight Till it pinches my skin Nerves strung so high I am a mandolin Jenny calls from montana she's only passing through probably see her again In this life I guess Not sure what I'm gonna do Plug a nightlight in Leave a porchlight on Because the small dark corners have designs me Live like an outlaw Clutching gold coins in his claw Room full of ambitious young policemen Everybody trying to make his mark I was a red dot blinking on the screen up ahead And then the room went dark Dream of waking up someday and wanting you less than I do this is a dream Though it's never gonna come true Plug a night light on Leave the porch light on Because the small dark corners are establishing a colony live like an Outlaw Clutching gold coins in his claw Can't ever set aside the sweetness of the days Before the crews up the border Fields full of wet rain cling to their memory forever Think about montana when I close my eyes Possibly jenny's headed east count a couple stay hopes out loud may their Numbers one day be increased Plug a nightlight in Leave the porchlight on Because the small dark corners cluster like animals Live like an outlaw Clutching cold coins in his claw
