"Hospital Lights" lyrics

I go to sleep late at night
Wake up in the hospital light

Soaked to my socks
Escaping the rain at a broken bus stop
Three inches of water, the drains must've blocked
For one precious moment the pavement is lost

A silvery sheen
Pours over the houses and washes them clean
I wish I could say it meant something to me
I wish I could say I was moved by the scene
I wish I could feel

I'm seventeen
And I can't see my face in the mirror
Still got so much to figure out

I'm seventeen
And all I feel is frozen with fear
'Cause I'm scared
I'm scared to sleep

I'm scared
I'm scared to sleep
I'm scared to sleep

I go to sleep late at night
Wake up in the hospital light
I go to sleep late at night
Wake up in the hospital light

Scared to sleep at night
Wake up in the hospital light
Scared to sleep at night
Wake up in the hospital light

I've seen them all and I've watched them die
I've seen them lying in the streetlight
I've seen them shrink and fade away
I've seen the pigskin games they play

I've seen a baby in a glass tank
A smile behind in the bloodbath
And there's you crying by my bedside
While I was lying in the hospital light

Another dew born where it aches
Another also floats up to the sky
And in my mind is a spirit
It's like a photograph burned in the hospital light

I go to sleep late at night
Wake up in the hospital light
I go to sleep late at night
Wake up in the hospital
