  • You run down the strip, down the strip right through me
    The rain on the windscreen, blistering the stop sign
    Turn in the rubies your mother did buy you
    Through this land I roar

    You made me bold like a whore, wish I'd never been born
    Got a good looking corpse hanging on to me tightly
    Bless this strip as it runs right through me
    Bless this strip as it runs right through me

    She fades to the background, proof reads a story
    Kills all the characters and crosses out the heroine
    Kissing an American, she told me she bought me
    Through this land I roar

    She made me bold like a whore, wish I'd never been born
    Got a good looking corpse hanging on to me tightly
    Bless this strip as it runs right through me
    Bless this strip as it runs right through me

    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

    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 know 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 know like your self

    Take me far, from this sweet city stench
    Where friends all betray each other
    And I'm just another lover to a
    Take me far, from this sweet city stench
    Where friends all betray each other
    And I'm just another lover to a friend
    To a friend, to a friend, to a friend
    Oh take me far, oh take me far, oh take me far, oh take me far Writer/s: JAMIE ALEXANDER TREAYS
