lyrics

Fingers tapping on the dash
My final cigarette burns
My thigh’s collecting ash

From the fluorescent glow
Of the diner’s sign
A long shadow

Maybe I’m still on the fence
Heart is racing, I could
Die just from suspense

The hitman must be near
No escape
Only fear

I can’t control myself
There’s something wrong with me
You crave the sun when your mind is
Cast in blacklight
Soaked in blacklight

I hope for something else
So ambivalent
So torn between
Desire’s a bitch when your mind is
Cast in blacklight
Soaked in blacklight

I’m growing tired of the blood
This ultraviolet, ultraviolent
Neon flood

Like a rush of air
Drift her way
Stop and stare

I don’t know if I have the guts
She sees me coming and
Her fear is infectious

My record’s ten to none
No escape
Pull the gun

I can’t control myself
There’s something wrong with me
You crave the sun when your mind is
Cast in blacklight
Soaked in blacklight

I hope for something else
So ambivalent
So torn between
Desire’s a bitch when your mind is
Cast in blacklight
Soaked in blacklight

So I let down my .44
She looks me in the eyes
And opens the car door

I beg to call it off
Head inside
Let’s just talk

And we said

I can’t control myself
There’s something wrong with me
You crave the sun when your mind is
Cast in blacklight
Soaked in blacklight

I hope for something else
So ambivalent
So torn between
Desire’s a bitch when your mind is
Cast in blacklight
Soaked in blacklight

And I can’t run from myself
But how else can I break free?
I’ve got to be somebody

Oh I’ll be big
Wait and see
Won’t be the last
You hear of me
And in the dawn
Blacklight’s gleam
Glows in the past
Far behind me
