Light Sleeper Songtext
von Eva Trout

Sweet bird of youth
You know that he loves you
He offers a reply
With only on his mind
And I will wait
Offer truth for saving face
He′s desperate in his own song
He writes it down but it feels all wrong
Good things come to those who wait
He's waited all his life for this one thing

Lightsleeper on the freeway
Taking the long way
Taking the highway
Lightsleeper on the freeway
Taking the long way
Taking the highway


Shoot right between the eyes
He is way before his time
He locked away his angry tunes
And brought about some brand new fortune
He seen flies so high
He watched her hips as she passed by
Singing one last line
Don′t suffocate his good life
If freedom feels like within your hands

I'm going away
I'm going to a place
God someday I′ll

Lightsleeper on the freeway
Taking the long way
Taking the highway
Lightsleeper on the freeway
Taking the long way
Taking the highway

Lightsleeper on the freeway
Taking the long way
Taking the highway

Lightsleeper on the freeway
Taking the long way
Taking the highway


On and on the diving horses wait
The silent film and I′m blind
Why don't you hang your head and pray?
Hang your head and pray
Lightsleeper on the freeway
He locked away his angry tunes
And brought about some brand new fortune
He gives you his reply
With only on his mind
Shoot right between the eyes

And he is way before his time
And he locked away his angry tunes
And he brought about some brand new fortune

Lightsleeper on the freeway
Taking the long way
Taking the highway
Taking the long way
Taking the highway
Lightsleeper on the freeway
Taking the long way
Taking the highway
