Brendan Benson - Here in the Deadlights lyrics

rate me

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 your old and no one cares.

Underneath fluorescent plume

only cold and hopeless stares.

All an allusion, 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 I huff and I puff

at the ash and the soot.

And my head and my crook

are dead wood that I took.

And the way that she shook

if you like 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.
