[Verse 1]
You run down the strip, down the strip right through me
The rain on the windscreen, blistering a stop sign
Turn in the rubies your mother did buy you
Through this land I roar
You make me bold like a whore, wish I'd never been born
Got a good-looking corpse hanging on to me tightly
Bless this strip as it runs right through me
Bless this strip as it runs right through me
[Verse 2]
She fades to the background, proofreads a story
Kills all the characters and crosses out the heroine
Kissing an American she told me she bought me
Through this land I roar
She make me bold like a whore, wish I'd never been born
Got a good-looking corpse hanging on to me tightly
Bless this strip as it runs right through me
Bless this strip as it runs right through me
[Chorus]
Love, turn on the light
It's so dark in there, inside the life
And I know what it's like
To feel loved and to not like yourself
[Verse 3]
She dragged all the blood to the back of my brain
Peel to the light, smoked on an elephant's tusk
Punch-drunk, bitten and bleeding
I became tame, feral in the herald, one of us
And I hear mutants screaming out
Ride on the crest of waves
And I stopped as a joker's feeling
And I still hear demons breathing, and
[Chorus]
Love, turn on the light
It's so dark in there, inside the life
And I know what it's like
To feel loved and to not like yourself
[Verse 4]
The sun had dropped, I'm sweating in a carcass
I've given up on me, I've given up on Marcus
I'm carrying my casket, looking for the enemy
I'm down on my knees, surrendering to Valerie
And all I feel my head is racing
I feel my shoulder's bracing
I know I'm sick to my bones and
I know can't get back home and
[Chorus]
Love, turn on the light
It's so dark in there, inside the life
And I know what it's like
To feel loved and to not like yourself
[Bridge]
Take me far from this sweet city stench
Where friends all betray each other
And I'm just another lover to a
Take me far from this sweet city stench
Where friends all betray each other
And I'm just another lover to a friend, to a friend
To a friend, to a friend
[Outro]
Oh, take me far, oh, take me far
Oh, take me far, oh, take me far
