Lights Out Lyrics

I blacked out Saturday
And burned that blood away
And scrawled that image out
The boat flies up and out
And I was only eight
I woke up underweight
My eyes vermilion
My skin all starved for sun
I blacked out Saturday
And burned that blood away
My covers kept me in the bed
And if I could have, I'd have said
But the words weren't coming out
Or the words were coming out wrong
And the first thing I could shout was
Up, up, up, up, out
The violence, the tumble down-down
The lights out, the lights out
The broken-once-I-shook-so-far
The killing off, the killing off
The violence, the tumble down-down
The lights out, the lights out
Fall, fall
So I loosed the covers up
And I shook the door right off
Yeah, I loosed the covers up
And I shook the door right off
But the words weren't coming out
Or the words were coming out wrong
And the first thing I could shout was
Up, up, up, up, out
The violence, the tumble down-down
The lights out, the lights out
The broken-once-I-shook-so-far
The killing off, the killing off
The violence, the tumble down-down
The lights out, the lights out
Fall, fall, fall, it's so, fall, it's so
