Music by 10,000 maniacs – lyrics by mary ramsey
In the coolness of the morning
Sparing moments here in magical tide
I would meet you without question
To share a starry gaze a look through the sky
From the start
There was this kind of glow
The start when it’s right
You’ll know,
Fascinating love’s a secret
An ancient riddle with no reason or rhyme
Unpredictable the muses they play
Never knowing whether teasing or shy.
I never thought that you’d find out I did it
I was so scared that you’d leave so I hid it
I know we said that we’d always be honest
So now I went out and messed up, our nest
It finally seems like we’ve turned into strangers
It’s gotten so bad there’s just no more anger
So now it seems like we can’t get no further
I can’t believe I’ll be bright for another
I’ll be the switch she turns on
She’ll be mine too, I get off
I’ll be the fuse that she blows
And even with the lights out we’ll glow
So where’s the sun it shown no love on your face
Under the moon and with the girl that’s in your place
And even Edison has no idea
Of all the blackouts I’ve caused you and me – ah
I’ll be the switch she turns on
She’ll be mine too, I get off
I’ll be the fuse that she blows
And even with the lights out we’ll glow
I’ll be the switch she turns on
She’ll be mine too, I get off
I’ll be the fuse that she blows
And even with the lights down real low
We’ll glow
We’ll glow
We’ll glow
I’ll be the switch she turns on
She’ll be mine too, I get off
I’ll be the fuse I’ll be the fuse she blows
And even with the lights out we’ll glow
I’ll be the switch she turns on
She’ll be mine too, I get off
I’ll be the fuse that she blows
And even with the lights out we’ll glow
I’ll be the switch she turns on
She’ll be mine too, I get off
I’ll be the fuse that she blows
And even with the lights out we’ll glow
I’ll be the I’ll be the fuse
I’ll be the I’ll be the fuse

[verse 1:]
There’s a wild streak in me
But it’s only for u to see
Look to my heart, cause u know I’m ready to start
I guess I’m tryin to say, yes I’ve been waiting for this very day
Hope ur goin too slow, cause we’re bout to shoot the sun a-glow
[hook:]
How do we make it, I do know
If there was ever a problem they had to go
Sometimes it’s kinda hard yes I do agree
See 1 + u just equals me
They’ll just watch us glow, they’ll just watch us glow
[verse 2:]
Now in love something crazed ,
Exude from ur eyes when they are fixed on me & like the eternal flame,
We have a fire that won’t ever stop burning
There’s a power in numbers baby,
But 2 is deemed the perfect team
Me & u equals 2
We will battle the masses baby, but we will claim the victory
[hook:]
How do we make it, I do know
If there was ever a problem they had to go
Sometimes it’s kinda hard yes I do agree
See 1 + u just equals me
They’ll just watch us glow, they’ll just watch us glow
[bridge:]
Some said we would never change.
Look at us now people tried to tear it all apart,
Boy u stole my heart so quickly
[hook:](until music fades)
How do we make it, I do know
If there was ever a problem they had to go
Sometimes it’s kinda hard yes I do agree
See 1 + u just equals me
They’ll just watch us glow, they’ll just watch us glow
Glow,
Take out this foreign heart,
Wash oof the sand that seeps out through my eyes,
I’ve still sleep in my eyes.
Cold,
Cold’s how we felt so long,
Accuse me of crying and speaking of lies.
I’ve still sleep in my eyes,
I’ve still sleep in my eyes,
Glow like a lover.
Out,
Out is the winter pale,
Gold rising june in the blue of my eye,
I’ve still sleep in my eyes.
Glow, this is my family,
Send for the soul you can soon realise.
I’ve still sleep in my eyes,
I’ve still sleep in my eyes,
Glow like a lover.
Is the airplane sweeping low?
Dropping leaflets down below.
Ho, ho, ho. what they read, what they read
[aw commation]
Is affecting you
Prince othello
[stays her glow]
Othello, the fellow, othello, othello
[down wine] pho-to, oh
[guess that’s lee]
What does this mean to me?
Well, got the airplane sweeping low
Dropping photo of othello
The fellow, othello is gonna
Make you
Glow, glow, glow.
Glow, glow. glow.
You can close you’re eyes and tell me
that you are a visionary
and maybe you’re a little scary
but you take my breath away
When you say you’ll always be there
it paints such a lovely picture
but no matter how you frame it
it’s still pornography
Nobody seems to hear
till I scream and shout
Evan if you tie me down
and you blow my candle out
I’ll still glow
I’ll still glow
I’ll be the perfect someone that you’ll never know
I’ll still glow
I see this girl with so much anger
pacified by holding strangers
making peace with all her danger
by looking in the mirror
The pureness in my name is gone now
You’ve taken it too far but somehow
I’ll lick my wounds and take the last bow
and hold my cold left hand
There’s so many things
That you rant about
The only thing I know for sure
If you blow my candle out
I’ll still glow
I’ll still glow
I’ll be the perfect someone
that you’ll never know
I’ll still glow
( guitar solo)
I’ll still glow
I’ll still glow
I’ll be the perfect someone
that you’ll- that you’ll never know
I’ll still glow
I’ll still glow
I’ll be the perfect someone that you’ll never know
I’ll still glow
