“Blue Light, Red Light” is a cover of a 1991 Harry Connick Jr. song that is to serve as the B-side to the 7" of “That Black Bat Licorice.”
It is the second 7" single released from his 2014 album Lazaretto, following “Lazaretto” and its Elvis Presley cover B-side “Power of My Love.”
I live in a tiny closet
A lukewarm cold water flat
With room for a couple of cinders
A mouse, a hole, and a trap
I don't worry about the flights
Or count the stairs
Cause I know
Someone's there
I took a high paying sweeping-up job
Dusting after somebody else
Seeing that there's clean on the windows
Convincing the snow to melt
I don't worry about the ride
Or the subway fare
Cause I know
Someone's there
[Refrain] x2
One day we'll move uptown
Or even out to the country side
And for every leaf on the tree
We'll add one cub to the pride
Who cares if the floor ain't level
Or if our ceiling caves in
If we're haunted by the devil
Or ghosts and boogeymen
Well I can't be concerned
Why should I care
No place I'd go alone can compare
Cause I know
I know you're there
