Songtext von Multi-Colored Lights

All the multi-colored lights Light up and take their place Traffic accidents, uncurable diseases Are just some of the things stopping me From enjoying the safety of the window seat Holiday lights outline bare branches of trees All the multi-colored lights Light up and take their place Caller ID kills the mystery And fate kills a poor man But the doorman who holds all the keys Says to me "What are you waiting for?" All the colors of this spectrum Are separate, are defined And the lights that blink year to year, they dare To hang there where you won't be, on strings I was once there And now I am not All the good endings take too long I prefer the bad ones that plunge into the depths Of the deepest grief and sorrow with no hope for a morrow I think I got it figured out this time All the multi-colored lights Light up and take their place Agents sworn to secrecy Know all the secrets surrounding Natural selection dictates who gets picked to play But you know in my pocket I house my empty wallet All the colors of this spectrum Are separate, are defined And the lights that blink year to year, they dare To hang there where you won't be, on strings I was once there And now I am not All the good endings take too long I prefer the bad ones that plunge into the depths Of the deepest grief and sorrow with no hope for a morrow I think I got it figured out this time So carcinogens and toxins Always find a way into my lungs All the good endings take too long I prefer the bad ones that plunge into the depths Of the deepest grief and sorrow with no hope for a morrow I think I got it figured out this time All the multi-colored lights Light up and take their place
