the mountain goats - night light lyrics
[verse 1]
pull my mask so tight
til it pinches my skin
nerves strung so high
i am a mandolin
jenny calls from montana
she’s only p-ssing through
probably never see her again in this life, i guess
not sure what i’m gonna do
[chorus]
plug a night light in
leave the porch light on
because the small dark corners have designs on me
live like an outlaw
clutching gold coins in his claw
[verse 2]
room full of ambitious young policemen
everybody trying to make his mark
i was a red dot blinking on a screen up overhead
and then the room went dark
dream of maybe waking up someday
and wanting you less than i do
this is a dream though
it’s never gonna come true
[chorus]
plug a night light in
leave the porch light on
because the small dark corners are establishing a colony
live like an outlaw
clutching gold coins in his claw
[verse 3]
can’t ever set aside the sweetness
of the days before the crews put up the border
fields full of wet rain
cling tight to their memory forever
think about montana when i close my eyes
possibly jenny’s headed east
count a couple of stray hopes outloud
may their numbers one day be increased
[chorus]
plug a night light in
leave the porch light on
because the small dark corners breathe like heavy animals
live like an outlaw
clutching gold coins in his claw
