Kill the Light

Maybe on a Sunday night

Pop music in the acid light

I remember when your sister died

Slow motion on the satellite

I remember I was lying in my bedroom

Wishing that a love would come to me

Flesh for fantasy

♪

We were listening to Thunder Road

"My Little Runaway" hot and cold

There's a lot of ways you could go

I hear you singing on the radio

You say you're leaving

But I know I'm gonna find you

I'm gonna be your suicide

Don't kill the light

Don't kill the light

It's gonna hit you when the light goes out

They don't even know your name

And there's a lot of kids hanging out

But nobody can touch your fame

It's gonna hit you when the light goes out

They don't even know your name

♪

So, Jenny, don't kill the light

I know I said I would, but hey, I lie

I'm gonna meet you on the other side

Your boy said he wants you back tonight

He always said I'm gonna love you 'til I'm crazy

I'm gonna love you 'til I'm dead

A place to lay my head

To lay my head

It's gonna hit you when the light goes out

They don't even know your name

And there's a lot of kids hanging out

But nobody can touch your fame

It's gonna hit you when the light goes out

They don't even know your name

♪

This isn't love, it's not the same

It's like she said

"Here comes the rain"

And if you want to stay alive

The preacher says you've got to die

Here's the scene

You give, I take

Are there pretty girls in Silver Lake?

The kind that make a boy forget

There's nothing really to forget

Jenny, don't kill the light

Don't kill the light
