Sam Phillips - Lever Pulled Down lyrics

In this dead-eyed world How long before they tell you how far you've come What do you have to make to make good And when can we raise the roof to the stars I'm a lever pulled down I'm a flipped switch I'm a lever pulled down From the fire in the air I'm a lever pulled down And I'll live my life for the lightning in our dreams In this dead-eyed world You've gotta keep your gaze steady and long And when good fortune turns away Be willing to go on alone I'm a lever pulled down I'm a flipped switch I'm a lever pulled down From the fire in the air I'm a lever pulled down And I'll live my life for the lightning in our dreams In this dead-eyed world They say you'll never make it With only a half a life more But love's electric raises up What the whole world leaves behind I'm a lever pulled down I'm a flipped switch I'm a lever pulled down And I don't know why it's so I'm a lever pulled down And I'll live my life for the lightning in our dreams From the lightning in our dreams I live this life
