Lyrics The Death of Ivan Ilych - Kolya

The Death of Ivan Ilych

Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on
We can only hide in shadows so long
Before we see we need the lights on
If i had rope
I could tie the alligator down
But these days he thinks often enough to do the opposite of what is expected of
him
And backed to be turned around and sideways to be stretched out
With his head in the clouds
We can only hide in shadows so long
Before we see we need the lights on
If i had rope
Id of decorated the whole word by now
Sees constellations in broken glass
Looking for the north star with no astrological map
My feet pound holes in the sidewalk that my ankles can’t climb
Stand independent with honesty for legs
Expectations casting shadows headfuls of advice in my stomach are rejected
whilst i become digested
Turn the lights on
Turn the lights off
