Lyrics That Light Always Goes Out - The Teeth

That Light Always Goes Out

Don’t hurt yourself
Like you’re known to do
Don’t look for what’s not there
You’ve been running around with those butterflies
Putting tulips in their hair
Well you should know by now
That you’ll only lose
There’s nothing you can say, nothing you can do
You got too many ideas building up inside of you
And they’re leaking out your shoes
And there’s no one to show them to
No, there’s no one to show them to
Well she wants to be, with every boy she finds obscene
Just to know, they want her
And she wants to show, how good she sings
Just to prove, she’s talented
Oh, Oh, Oh made it so
She’s starving for attention Oh No Oh, Oh
But I guess you can’t see, with that glimmer in your eye
But that light always goes out in the middle of the night
When you wake up from dreams of big black spiders in the sink
Who is laying by your side?
And who makes you feel alive?
Who makes you feel alive?
And so there is no telling what you need through the sheets
Some darker place that you ignore until it violently repeats
And what is it the hand she brushed across your thigh
That made you realize you’ll be alone until the day you die
