You run down the strip, down the strip, right through me The rain on the windscreen, blistering the stop sign Turned into rubies, your mother did buy you Through this land I rot, you made me bold Like a ***, wish I'd never been born Got good looking coats, hanging on to me tightly Bless this strip, as it runs right through me Bless this strip, as it runs right through me She fades to the background, proofreads her story Kills all her characters and crosses out her heroine Kissing an American, she told me she bought me Through this land I rot, she made me bold Like a ***, wish I'd never been born Got good looking coats, hanging on to me tightly Bless this strip, as it runs right through me Bless this strip, as it runs right through me Oh, turn on the light It's so dark in there, inside the night And I know what it's like To feel love, and turn out like yourself She dragged all the blood to the back of my brain Failed to the line, smoked on an elephant's tusk Punched, chunked, bitten and bleeding I became tame, fiddling the heroine of us And I hear mutants screaming I ride on the crest of waves And I'm stopped as a joker's failing I still hear demons breathing Oh, turn on the light It's so dark in there, inside the night And I know what it's like To feel love, and turn out like yourself Sun had dropped, I'm sweating in a car Cause I've given up on me, I've given up on her Cause I'm carrying my casket, looking for the enemy I'm down on my knees, surrendering to Valerie And all I feel, my head is racing I feel my shoulders bracing I know I'm sick to my bones And I know I can't get back home Oh, turn on the light It's so dark in there, inside the night And I know what it's like To feel love, and turn out like yourself Take me far, from this witty city stench Where friends all betray each other And I'm just another lover to her Take me far, from this witty city stench Where friends all betray each other And I'm just another lover to her friend To her friend To her friend To her friend Oh, take me far And I know what it's like To feel love, and turn out like yourself Take me far, from this witty city stench Where friends all betray each other And I'm just another lover to her friend To her friend To her friend
