Streetlights Lyrics
[Chorus]
Streetlights
Who would believe that a halogen lamp could conceive
That's what she said and it stuck in my head

The light seeps through the walls
Plants a seed and babies fall
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
So when I see those city streets
All lit up like a Christmas tree
Her wisdom comes to me
And I thank God
That I can go out at night
Because I don't have ovaries
