James McMurtry - Rayolight lyrics

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)
