Jason Boland & the Stragglers - Transmission Out lyrics

[Spoken Word] I mean no matter what you believe about Alien abductions and or religious experiences And or psychedelic channelings And or immersive gaming And or magic and witchcraft Revival tent hucksterism Myers-Briggs psychobabble Or Hank Williams singing with the conviction of a man who had seen the light No matter what you think about it all It's your rigorous intuition that tells your tell-tale heart at the end of the day At the twilight between dusk and dawn you have to ask yourself a question about it What light? A blinding light One of those rare and purposeful beams of light that we are told strike certain individuals at key moments in their lives Tesla as a child in the Balkans Philip K Dick in Fullerton Bob Dyland in his bedroom in Malibu Merle Haggard in a small plane over Point Conception Joan of Arc's blinding visions Saint Catherine receiving the stigmata From a dense beam of otherworldly yellow colour
