From the recording Follow The Gaslight
A wry look at houses, cars and the stories we tell ourselves to make life feel complete.
Lyrics
A ray of light
In my eye
Cannot behold the beauty of the sight
Before me now
There’s a wall
That I have been fixing and painting
All day
Everybody wants to buy the perfect house
A lot of us will have to settle for something quite nice
Perfect for that price
Sun goes down
I hang around
In my garage I am listening to the sound
Coming out from the
Engine bay of my
Stingray, I’m worried it’s bad
Many of us want to drive a fancy car
Just to drive away from what reminds us who we are
God, I love this car
Oooh
God, I love this car
Everybody wants to live the perfect life
All of us will have to settle for the reasons why
We are living on a lie
Everybody wants to get the story right
But all we ever see is coloured by that ray of light
We are living a lie
