They Might Be Giants - When the Light Comes On lyrics

I'll make a reckless prediction I'll still be in the kitchen When the lights come on I think we'll probably be good If stuff is still where it stood When the lights come on We won't remember each other But we'll probably recover Unless everyone's gone It might be too soon to say this But I think that we may just See the lights come on See I've been picturing Diagrams of master plans I taught myself to draw in the dust With what remains of my left hand And from what I can tell I'll be no more than a shell Or an automaton But we'll be laughing and sh** It will have been worth it When the lights come on Unless we chicken out again Which is exactly how we ended up in here Our guard was down, we were disarmed They tampered with the smoke alarm There won't be any more trouble You'll be dragged from the rubble When the lights come on And I'll be looking so great I will have lost some weight When the lights come on We will be growing mustaches Once we're raised from the ashes When the lights come on We'll be encased in gold Desiccated and old When the lights come on See I've been picturing Diagrams of master plans I taught myself to draw in the dust With what remains of my left hand And from what I can tell Groping around, there's something else I feel a face, I feel a pulse I think I'm Tripping Something's got me by the hair Let's table this discussion Until my concussion On the bottom stair Unless I pa** out once again And find the bandage where my kidney used to be Knocked over lamp, some broken plates Prescription pads for opiates
