Rope Light Lyrics

asking around,
what do you hope to retrieve?
behind the cigarette machine
with the awkward lean
and a joke from 1983

rope light, alchemy
late nights, lost keys
rope light, alchemy
stage fright, high seas
rope light, you and me
late nights, lost keys
rope light, alchemy
stage fright and beautiful debris

dancing around
the edges of the room in the dark
waiting for the mayor to make his remarks and put a stamp on this as a genuine lark

you had your coat on
and I was ready to go
but everybody looks so good
in this glow
I think I see someone
somebody I know...

rope light, alchemy
late nights, lost keys
rope light, alchemy
stage fright, high seas
rope light, you and me
late nights, lost keys
rope light, alchemy
stage fright, beautiful debris
