Away from the Light

The drinks are on me.

Or was that the joke?

It’s so good to be lonely

with you folks.

It’s darker inside here

than it is outside,

and that’s where I like it -- 

away from the light.

I ain't saying we're compañeros

or that we should be.

I'll stay strange to you.

Please stay a stranger to me.

It's darker inside here

than it is outside,

and that's where I like it --

away from the light.

Some 151

is all we need for a glow,

or some lemon extract

for those in the know.

A party’s a party

with me or without,

but since we’re all here now,

how 'bout let’s not head out?

The drinks are on me.

Let’s stay till we’ve checked off

five hundred or so

and wait for the next five hundred

so we don’t have to go.

away from the light.

Away, away, away from the light.

Away, away, away from the light --

sloshed moths to tribal fires.
