"Rayolight" lyrics - JAMES MCMURTRY

The streets are emptied out and silent
Standing here all stupified and stunned
You Say you need a rayolight
Had enough of my blinding insight
Well I guess I can't blame you none
Whatever it is won't go down easy
Keeps on rearing its ugly head again
But I could use a rayolight
Had enough of this mindless fight
Right now we're both too tired to win

[Chorus:]
I propose we shed these clothes
And rest this thing
Find us a place where the creeks run clear
And the phone don't ring

These old rough edges we keep finding
Sooner or later they'll wear down smooth and shiny

[Chorus]

There's traffic on the street
It's getting pale in the east
We'll be all right for now at least

There's a rayolight stabbing through
Could be we learned a trick or two
As the streetlights fade we can pull the shades
And rest this thing
Find us a place where the creeks runs clear
And the phone don't ring
These old rough edges we keep finding
Just got to work 'em a while till they wear down
Smooth and shiny

Rayolight [Repeat to fade]
