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
