lirik lagu lights come on – don mcglashan

there’s a guitar with its six strings, wound up tight
foot pedals with their little red lights
88 keys, in flats and sharps, waiting for the show to start
pulses raise but everyone’s still
hundreds of lungs empty and fill
blood hums low in an undertone
and you feel so alone

and you want to reach out to everyone you know
hold them close
the way people would throw streamers at ships
bright paper trailing to keep them from sailing

the man next to you’s coat smells like the sea
and the humming is loud
millions of bees
beating their wings
rising in a swarm, like an elеctric storm
breaking in waves, coming in sets
brеaking right over the mixing desk
whitewater flooding the speaker cones
and the microphone

and you want to reach out to everyone you know
hold them close
the way people would throw streamers at ships
bright paper trailing to keep them from sailing
and all of your ancestors distant and dead
looking out through your eyes from inside your head
row upon row, and line upon line
going back in time

oh, when the valves glow
oh, when the wait is done
oh, when the switch is thrown
and the lights come on
and the lights come on

- don mcglashan
