The Light’s on You Songtext
von Fastbacks

Feeling as close to the edge as you can be
A voice comes on and says, "Why aren′t you happy?"
I've been on the left for twenty-nine years
And haven′t found what to do with my life
A man comes on the screen, and he asks boldly
"Does it make you sad to be so lonely?"
I think I know what life's about
Yet I've never had a chance to find out what went wrong

Oh, the light′s on you, tell us the story of your life
The light′s on you, tell us even if you don't feel right
About the things you′ve done, tell us why you're on the run
The light′s on you, tell us the story of your life

Silence fills the room, the air turns sour
You think to yourself, "It's been almost an hour
How can I say just what I feel when I′m being taught
To hide the things that come from inside?"


Oh, the light's on you, tell us the story of your life
The light's on you, tell us even if you don′t feel right
About the things you′ve done, tell us why you're on the run
The light′s on you, tell us the story of your life

Who can we send today?
Who can we use today to put in front of us
To cover up ourselves and keep it all safe inside?
I, I, I

Assess the fact that this ordeal is over
Feel the cross be lifted off your shoulder
The end of the beginning
And I think that I'm about to see the start of something new

Oh, the light′s on you, tell us the story of your life
The light's on you, tell us even if you don′t feel right
About the things you've done, tell us why you're on the run
The light′s on you, tell us the story of your life
The light′s on you, tell us the story of your life
