Lyrics
said you've gotta run, but you're gonna walk
down to the corner with the broken light
gonna get lit tonight.
color me too dumb to find
that you're the one who's doing lines
in the back room,
who would have thought it was you
I never thought it was you
I'll be here tonight, not so easy to see
when the red in your eyes has replaced the white
I'll be here tonight, and I guess you're right
I better leave the light on,
cuz you'll be high when you get home
when you get home.
a vacant look through glassy eyes,
it turns your words into the lies, like
I'm allright, I'm ok,
life really is better this way
so low so strung out from your
hidin'... bakin'...
stealing everything worth taking
lyin'... fakin'...
trying to stop your hands from shaking
when you know that I won't ever leave your side
I'm sure you'd care if you weren't high, yeah love
I'll be here tonight, not so easy to see
when the red in your eyes has replaced the white
I'll be here tonight, and I guess you're right
I better leave the light on, when you come home
and I'll be here tonight, not so easy to see
when the red in your eyes, replaced the white
I'll be here tonight, and I guess you're right
I better leave the light on,
cuz you'll be high when you get...
get home. when you get home, love.
when you come in late
and you've been drugging
and you're dragging your feet
and the only life you think worth living
is with amphetamines, love
well, I'm not the one you really want to need now
and I'd like to think I'm better than your speed
down on the corner where the fifties get you high
and you believing that you need it to let it in and better your life
yeah love,
I'll be here tonight yeah.
