lyrics

TURN ON THE LIGHT

Empty bottle rolling down an empty street
Lamplight is falling into 73
Empty house has been now
- for sometime
Waiting for somebody
- to turn on the light

In the next street Angela sleeps
'tween doorways in the dark
With the comfort pulled out from under your feet
It's hard to ignore just where you are
Waiting for somewhere
-to turn on the light

The street at day is a rush in the haze
Of the coffee that never lasts
Before people rushing ongetting so much work done
and peace appears fragile as the glass
Oooh slow down
What's it all about anyway?
Turn on the light

The word on the street is community
Every stitch and seam
The coat that keeps the cold from getting in
The fabric that holds the smallest of dreams
of you and me
So turn on the light
Turn on the light

Because who's there left to care
When there's not a penny left to share?
Where's the roof over your head,
your place, your shelter for your bed?
We're all under the same sky
The same sky
So turn on the light
Who's holding the keys?
Turn on the light
Who's holding the keys?
Turn on the light
Who's holding the keys?
Turn on the light
What's it all about anyway?
Who's holding the keys?
What's it all about anyway?
Who's holding the keys

Turn on the Light
Turn on the Light
Turn on the Light
