When I'm on will you leave me on?
When I'm on will you leave me on?
And when I'm down will you let me get under?

Take cover
Can't hide without a house
Newspapers blow over
Can't walk past the driveway without asking for directions
So full of stupid questions

When the daylight's like fluorescent light
I'm going to take my time night by night
When the daylight's like fluorescent light
I hang my hands over your eyes to hide

One and only, rescue me, I watched that telethon
Got hung up on the word I can't get over
Soldier
When she said, "Nothing is enough"
She doesn't mean don't try to fix it
Make plans with your other hand
Dream without concession

When the daylight's like fluorescent light
I'm going to take my time night by night
When the daylight's like fluorescent light
I hang my hands over your eyes
I hang my hands over your eyes to hide

Bruised Billy Joel, New York State of Mind
Take cover, take pleasure
