The song is about a messed up girl who is trying to catch the attention of her crush, another woman, when she is all depressed and feeling like an outcast. But she still hopes to be with her and be happy together.
[Verse 1]
I like the Downtown girls
I like the way that they talk to me
I like the messed up girls
Yeah, they're pretty good company
I like the way that you walk
And maybe tonight
I can make you mine
And if it's alright
We could dance in the white light
[Chorus]
In the white light
In the white light, oh-oh-oh
In the white light
[Verse 2]
Back at the punk rock club
Feels like it's 1963
And the girls all dance
But I'm feeling like a refugee
I wanna take you home
And maybe tonight
I could make you mine
And if it's all right
We could dance in the white light
[Chorus]
In the white light, oh, oh, oh
In the white light, oh-oh-oh
In the white light
[Bridge]
And maybe I'm crazy, crazy
Maybe I've got no guarantees
But I've been thinking lately
I'm gonna let it bleed
Dream, baby, dream
Baby, dream
Baby, dream
[Verse 3]
I wanna take you home
And maybe tonight, oh
I could make you mine
And if it's all right
We could dance
We could dance
We could dance
Come together in the white light
[Chorus]
In the white light, oh-oh-oh
In the white light, oh
In the white light, oh-oh-oh
In the white light, oh
In the white light, oh-oh-oh
In the white light, oh
In the white light
