THE MOUNTAIN GOATS lyrics : "Night Light"

Pull my mask so tight
Till it pinches my skin
Nerves strung so high

I am a mandolin

Jenny calls from Montana

she's only passing through
Probably see her again in this life I guess
Not sure what I'm gonna do


Plug a nightlight in
Leave a porchlight on

Because the small dark corners have designs me

Live like an outlaw

Clutching gold coins in his claw

Room full of ambitious young policemen

Everybody trying to make his mark
I was a red dot blinking on the screen up ahead
And then the room went dark


Dream of waking up someday
and wanting you less than I do

This is a dream though
it's never gonna come true


Plug a night light on
Leave the porch light on
Because the small dark corners are establishing a colony


Live like an outlaw
Clutching gold coins in his claw


Can't ever set aside the sweetness of the days
Before the crews up the border

Fields full of wet rain, cling tight to their memory forever
Think about Montana when I close my eyes
Possibly Jenny's headed east


Count a couple stay hopes out loud
May their numbers one day be increased


Plug a nightlight in
Leave the porchlight on

Because the small dark corners cluster like animals

Live like an outlaw

Clutching gold coins in his claw
