Leave the Lights On

Oh Joe
No wonder
Darkness covers
These holes
So lions won't know where they fall
Where we come from
There's a cardboard god
Turned paperdoll
Barely standing on it's throne

How long
Since your star
Rose to that vantage ah

Daniel and Chi Chi
Slow dance so sweetly
That angels
Won't leave them alone
Baby can't stand
When her crazy old man
Can't stop singing songs
Darkness
Is a comfort round these parts
Invites a sweetness into hearts

You caught this lion
Now stop it's cryin'
Leave it quiet like a stove top mouse
With grain in it's jaw
Can't sleep standin'
Been caught red handed
Hardon, blood drippin' mouth
Blood on my paws
Blood on my paws
Blood on my paws

Your star shines bright and soft
So keep the lights off
Can't feel no pathos through their glow
Oh Jo Oh Lie
Keep hold of me
And don't let go

Darkness is comfort round these parts
