Chemical Light Lyrics
I can lick my wounds, I can make amends
I can say my prayers, I can bow my head
If I break my body, can you bury it? (Bury it?)
I can live for you, a hundred times
I can only die once, so time it right
If I break my body, can you bury it?
And sing for me a funeral hymn, let me hear you say:
“You glow in the chemical light
And the green in your eyes
Makes you look more alive than you did before
The kids are alright, we’re living our lives”
Yeah, we glow in the chemical light
From that look in your eyes
We’re a little less alive than we were before
The kids are alright, we’re living our lives
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Funny how life changes with the time of the day
Funny how our house is still stuck in the shade
Is our side of the street the only one that is gray?
Have noticed the neighbors don’t live this way
Live this way, live this way, yeah, I hear them say
“You glow in the chemical light
And the green in your eyes
Makes you look more alive than you did before
The kids are alright, we’re living our lives”
Yeah, we glow in the chemical light
From that look in your eyes
We’re a little less alive than we were before
The kids are alright, we’re living our lives
In the chemical, in the chemical light
Now I’m breaking your heart as I’m starting the car
And I’m driving away as we’re falling apart
Yellow lines, white lights turn to pastel in my eyes
I could paint you a picture prettier than these times
Now all we do is glow, I’ll remember how you glow
How you glow
How you glow in the chemical light
And the green in your eyes
Makes you look more alive than you did before
The kids are alright, we’re living our lives
Yeah, we glow in the chemical light
From that look in your eyes
We’re a little less alive than we were before
The kids are alright, we’re living our lives
Chemical, in the chemical
Glow in the chemical light
From that look in your eyes
We’re a little less alive than we were before
The kids are alright, we’re living our lives
We’re living our lives, we’re living–
Greetings from Bleak Street
Won’t you come visit sometime?
We glow in the chemical, we glow in the chemical
Glow in the chemical, we glow in the chemical
Glow in the chemical, we glow in the chemical
Glow in the chemical, we glow, we glow
We glow in the chemical light
From that look in your eyes
We’re a little less alive than we were before
The kids are alright, we’re living our lives
We’re living our lives, we’re living–
