You run down the strip, down the strip right through me
Em
The rain on the windscreen, blistering the stop sign
C
Turn in the rubies your mother did buy you
Em
Through this land I roar

C
You made me bold like a whore, wish I'd never been born
Em
Got a good looking corpse hanging on to me tightly
D
Bless this strip as it runs right through me

Bless this strip as it runs right through me

She fades to the background, proof reads a story
Em
Kills all the characters and crosses out the heroine
C
Kissing an American, she told me she bought me
Em
Through this land I roar

She made me bold like a whore, wish I'd never been born

Got a good looking corpse hanging on to me tightly

Bless this strip as it runs right through me

Love, turn on the light
         Em                         C
It's so dark in there, inside her life

Filled to the line, smoked on an elephant's tusk
Punch drunk, bitten, and bleeding I became 
Tame, feeble in the heroine one of us
And I hear mutants screaming
And I ride on the crest of waves
And I stuck as a joker's feeling
And I still hear demons breathing, and

Love, turn on the light
It's so dark in there, inside her life
And I know, what it's like
To feel loved and to not like your self

The sun had dropped, I'm sweating in a carcass
I've given up on me, I've given up on Marcus
I'm carrying my casket, looking for the enemy
I'm down on my knees, surrendering to Valerie
And all, I feel my head is racing
And I, feel my shoulders bracing
I, know I'm sick to my bones 
And I, know I can't get back home now

Love, turn on the light
It's so dark in there, inside her life
And I know, what it's like
To feel loved and to not like your self

To a friend, to a friend, to a friend 
Oh take me far, oh take me far, oh take me far, oh take me far
