Fluorescent Lights

Oh you've done it now
You've said it now
You've hidden for so long
That now you can't come out
You saw something off in the mirror today
You know they've seen too much
And now they're coming round

See what's on the surface
Replay and reverse it
Practice and rehearse it
We see too much under fluorescent lights

The tinted windows of the morning train
They're saying it over again and again
The bags under your eyes are so flattering at this time
A side glance with an ultraviolet gleam

Oh, now you've said too much
Or you haven't said enough
You're too quiet
You said it too loud
You're trying to say something
But you just don't understand
We're all just hiding the best we can

See what's on the surface
Replay and reverse it
Practice and rehearse this
We see too much under fluorescent lights

Looking tired
Are you dead inside
No I can tell you lied
I'm sure you tried to hide it
But slipped up in plain sight
Step into the light
Oh it's so bright, it's so bright

My, oh my
I think that something's died
Something's out of line
Somewhere where the light doesn't shine
Somewhere where you're tied
You can't fight it
You can't get out, you cannot lie

Nobody looks quite right
Under fluorescent light

We see too much under fluorescent lights
