You run down the[C] strip, down the strip right through me
[Em]The rain on the windscreen, blistering the stop sign
[C]Turn in the rubies your mother did buy you
[Em]Through this land I roar
[C]You made me bold like a whore, wish I'd never been born
[Em]Got a good looking corpse hanging on to me tightly
[D]Bless this strip as it runs right through me
[C]Bless this strip as it runs right through me
[C]She fades to the background, proof reads a story
[Em]Kills all the characters and crosses out the heroine

[G]Love, turn on the li[D]ght
It's so d[Em]ark in there, inside her li[C]fe
And I k[G]now, what it's li[D]ke
To feel lov[Em]ed and to not li[C]ke your self
She dragged all the blood to the back of my brain
Filled to the line, smoked on an elephant's tusk
Punch drunk, bitten, and bleeding I became
Tame, feeble in the heroine one of us
And I hear mutants screaming
And I ride on the crest of waves
And I stuck as a joker's feeling
And I still hear demons breathing, and
Love, turn on the light
It's so dark in there, inside her life
And I know, what it's like
To feel loved and to not like your self
The sun had dropped, I'm sweating in a carcass
I've given up on me, I've given up on Marcus
I'm carrying my casket, looking for the enemy
I'm down on my knees, surrendering to Valerie
And all, I feel my head is racing
And I, feel my shoulders bracing
I, know I'm sick to my bones
And I, know I can't get back home now
Love, turn on the light
It's so dark in there, inside her life
And I know, what it's like
To feel loved and to not like your self

Where fr[Am]iends all betray each other
