lyrics
Turn off the lights
Turn off the lights and pretend
That you can even stand the sight of me
You only like me when you’re drunk
And even then you’re violent
And I’m looking for some guidance
Oh mother superior
There are no lights on in the darkness of this town
Seldom are the sounds
But there is a crime in your silence
My bleeding heart has been bled dry
By the shyness of this tyrant
If you’re waiting for the right time
You might not get another like this
Oh mother superior
Turn off the lights and pretend
That you can even stand the sight of me
You only like me when you’re drunk
And even then you’re violent
And I’m looking for some guidance
Oh mother superior
There are no lights on in the darkness of this town
Seldom are the sounds
But there is a crime in your silence
My bleeding heart has been bled dry
By the shyness of this tyrant
If you’re waiting for the right time
You might not get another like this
Oh mother superior
