"Power + Light" lyrics - 50 FOOT WAVE
Behind the liquor store
I break down
And in some-fucking-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 fucking than fighting
Anyway they're the same
I'd rather be fucking 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 fucking than fighting
Anyway they're the same
I'd rather be fucking 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 fucked 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 space
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
