Kristin Hersh A Cleaner Light lyrics

A high

That's a swell take on this situation
I was trying to rectify
I was trying to skip out on this high

Keep away from the freaks on the fringe
They only talk to you
'Cause you give them a good excuse to cry

But in a cleaner light, it's okay
In a cleaner light, it's okay
In a better light, it's okay
In a better light, it's okay

This strange old sunshine beats me senseless
But it's supposed to be
Keeping me healthy, it's a lie

You're a strange old thing that keeps me senseless
But you're supposed to be

Keeping me company

But in a cleaner light, it's okay
In a cleaner light, it's okay
In a better light, it's okay
In a better light, it's okay

I wake up feeling fragile
It's nothing the TV couldn't cure
Or lying here for my whole life

But in a cleaner light, it's okay
In a cleaner light, it's okay
In a better light, it's okay
In a better light, it's okay

They only talk to you 'cause
You're there
