Tenement Light
[Chorus: Kyle Falconer]
You're bold, you're bright
Tuck me in tight
Turn me on like a tenement light
[Pre-verse]
You're wrong, you're right
You're false, you're true
You're a knife in the head
And I love you
[Verse 1]
So keep shining bright all through the night
Shine above my head and aid my sight
Style 'n' flare that no one can compare
You live your life like a flick of that knife
Dressed in black you ran away with the night
And the scene was perfectly so unpolite
Flicker at me like candle-light
[Refrain]
I will wait for you
Wait right here waiting for you
[Pre-Chorus]
You tell me everything that's on your mind
I'll tell you everything is gonna be fine
You tell me everything that's on your mind tonight
[Chorus]
You're bold, you're bright
Screw me in tight
I'm your bulb tonight
You be my tenement light
[Verse 2]
Stand up and stare like my neck hair
Was it a dare or did you just not care
Don't go out in the middle of the night
[Refrain]
And I will wait for you
Wait right here for you
[Pre-Chorus]
You tell me everything that's on your mind
I'll tell you everything is gonna be fine
You tell me everything that's on your mind tonight
[Verse 3]
So tell me you're happy
Tell me you're sad
Say you're not lonely
I would never love to see you sitting in a lonely chair
Sitting there scared
[Refrain]
I will wait for you
Be right here waiting for you
[Outro]
You tell me everything that's on your mind
I'll tell you everything is gonna be fine
You tell me everything that's on your mind tonight
