Bright Light Fever

Knocking back vodka at the funeral wake

Mourners in corners crying into the cake

This is so depressing and I wanna get out of here

Had enough of death and destruction to last a year

Take me to the place you used to tell me about

Let me know your secrets and I'll figure you out

No point in pretending we're as young as we used to be

You're the only thing I've had that's ever been good for me

Bright light fever, forever

Yesterday, the fear was near and I was afraid

Long gone all the summers spent on cheap lemonade

Worried all the time, I think it's starting to wear me down

Scared I'll get a kicking if I'm in the wrong part of town

Can't see what's behind me for the ash and the dust

Life is moving fast, I guess I'll have to adjust

Hold me close tonight, I need to know that you really care

Show what you got in all this darkness and deep despair

Bright light fever, forever

Bright light fever, forever

All this pressure is killing me

And you're talking in your sleep

All this pressure is killing me

Pull the wreckage from the deep

Pull the wreckage from the deep

May love take me to the grave

Like a rose upon a wave

From the river to the sea

Until the blood returns to me

May love take me to the grave

Like a rose upon a wave

From the river to the sea

Until the blood returns to me

All this pressure is killing me

And you're talking in your sleep

All this pressure is killing me

Pull the wreckage from the deep

Pull the wreckage from the deep
