Light Treason

These Wretched dreams have come around

And they just hold me down

How many times did I dream of you

And how many have I forgotten too?

I cannot handle them

Only see you in my REM

At night when I go to sleep

It is there your heart I keep

Don’t let the lights go down on me

The spotlight is the starlight from the balcony

Don’t let the lights go down on us

Waiting for the crowd that never was…

Close my eyes and I’m caught

In a world where I am not

Find the spirits and take a shot

Then lets entertain the thought

That (we) three ghosts now reside

In this stage where they act and died

A tragic husband and a wife

While the other needs to get a life

 Keep the light on

Don’t flip the switch

Shine on and on and on

Into a concert fever pitch

Keep the light on

Flip the bitch

Shine on and on and on

On a stage black as pitch (the joke is getting rich)

Don’t let the lights go down on me

The spotlight is the starlight from the balcony

Don’t let the lights go down on us

Waiting for the crowd that never was…

Don’t Let The Lights Go Down On Us

The bats are in the belfry and we beam because

My brightest diamond hope keeps the wolves at bay

As long as she shines we’ll be okay

This humble heart is left unhoused

Slowly drifting towards a spouse

How many sorrys are allowed?

I think 490 is the sacred cow

Please just leave the light on

To glow on your face until the dawn

Our souls will shine etched and drawn

Until this place long has come and gone
