Ryan Adams And The Cardinals - k** The Lights lyrics

When I go walking through the city at night I see the trash is piling up Against the sides of the street Of the streets when its day Where all the bodies collide I like to think about this place Like it's a dream A dream I had when I was watching TV When I was 5, when I was 10, Now I'm inside it here I am On these streets, with these dreams On this island, and I'm staying til Somebody k**s the lights Til somebody k**s the lights Til somebody k**s the lights Up on the old white way, I'm gonna stay and survive It's rough sometimes But I am here despite the wars I fight the ones inside The rest of them are yours I'm alive, I'm alive, and I am going to survive I like to think about this place Like I'm not here Sometimes it's all so overwhelming But let me make this clear It's a dream so partially mine You try to wreck it With your wrecking machine, I'll cut the wires Those gals upstairs on broadway "Reading" lines are OK While there's still neon in the sign They're gonna stay until Til somebody k**s the lights Til somebody k**s the lights Til somebody k**s the lights Up on the old white way, The great lady is littering the old white way This dream is mine, and it's going to survive I'm alive, I'm alive, You're f**ing fired k** the lights k** the lights
