Brendan Benson - Here in the Deadlights lyrics

Crank it up for me Better open your eyes Uncover your ears You might notice something Because of all of your lies Over 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 together As it should And in the end it's only you Standing alone, taking it in Not sure how to end or how to begin Here in the deadlights There's so many hands Reaching out to touch you Here in the deadlights In no man's land Stretches out before you When the feeling goes away And you're left with nothing Everything you think to say Doesn't matter anymore Nothing matters anymore In a stale and musty room When you're old and no one cares Underneath fluorescent plume Only cold and vacant stares All an illusion, all of the time Everything perfectly all in a line Here in the deadlights There's so many hands Reaching out to touch you Here in the deadlights In no man's land Stretches out before you And by hoof or by foot And the ash and the soot And by hook or by crook The dead wood that I took And the way that she shook Live your life by the book Take a knife, take a bite And I could and I might If only to spite If only to spite If only to spite Here in the deadlights There's so many hands Reaching out to touch you Here in the deadlights In no man's land Stretches out before you. Here in the deadlights There's so many hands Reaching out to touch you. Here in the deadlights In no man's land Stretches out before you
