Here In The Deadlights - Brendan Benson

Crank it up for me
Better open your eyes
Uncover your ears
You might notice something
Because of all of your liesover your years
You've been missing something
You've been missing something
Lost forever
Gone for good
And there's nothing you can do
It comes togetheras it should
And in the end it's only youstanding alone
Taking it in
Not sure how to end or how to begin
Here in the deadlightsthere's so many handsreaching out to touch you
Here in the deadlightsin
No Man's Landstretches out before you
When the feeling goes awayand you're left with nothing
Everything you think to saydoesn't matter anymore
Nothing matters anymore
In a stale and musty roomwhen your old and no one cares
Underneath fluorescent plumeonly cold and hopeless stares
All an allusion all of the time
Everything perfectly all in a line
Here in the deadlightsthere's so many handsreaching out to touch you
Here in the deadlightsin
No Man's Landstretches out before you
And I huff and
I puffat the ash and the soot
And my head and my crookare dead wood that
I took And the way that she shookif you like by the booktake a knife take a biteand
I could and
I might If only to spite
If only to spite
If only to spite
Here in the deadlightsthere's so many handsreaching out to touch you
Here in the deadlightsin
No Man's Landstretches out before you
Here in the deadlightsthere's so many handsreaching out to touch you
Here in the deadlightsin
No Man's Landstretches out before you
