Kristin Hersh - A Cleaner Light

A high

That's a swell take on this situation

I was trying to rectify

I was trying to skip out on this high

Keep away from the freaks on the fringe

They only talk to you

'Cause you give them a good excuse to cry



But in a cleaner light, it's ok

In a cleaner light, it's ok

In a better light, it's ok

In a better light, it's ok



This strange old sunshine beats me senseless

But it's supposed to be keeping me healthy

It's a lie

You're a strange old thing that keeps me senseless

But you're supposed to be keeping me company



But in a cleaner light, it's ok

In a cleaner light, it's ok

In a better light, it's ok

In a better light, it's ok



I wake up feeling fragile

It's nothing the TV couldn't cure

Or lying here for my whole life



But in a cleaner light, it's ok

In a cleaner light, it's ok

In a better light, it's ok

In a better light, it's ok



They only talk to you 'cause you're there
