Ten Thousand Night lights


Walk a mile wearing my shoes, take a stroll and search the grounds.
Give a try sporting my blues, the colors can leave without sound.

I had a dream I was dreaming, breathing you in but bleeding you out.
Come June I was tossing, turning and walking back the other way.

Ten thousand night lights to brighten up this place.
It’s all tied up and tangled.
Never saw it come your way and now you’re feeling ordinary.
There’s life all around you.

You hang around with the old crowd.  Do your friends ever ask about me?
I take time out to realize- knowing this town can turn on a dime.

Ten thousand night lights to brighten up this place.
It’s all tied up and tangled. (feels like novocaine)
By the way there will come a day when you and I will all be happy.
There’s life all around you.

Nothing can be learned whenever life’s concerned.  
It’s only clear when you notice you’ve gone numb.
Knock on philosophy, try your hand at altered reality.
Pay your bills and you drift away.

Ten thousand night lights to brighten up this place.
It’s all tied up and tangled. (feels like novocaine)
I never saw it come your way and now you’re feeling ordinary.
There’s life all around you.
