Lyrics

Grey Lantern

Look, frankly you're a star tonight

Standing under grey light when I left you

You're watching from afar tonight

You've just become a sight for sore eyes now, yeah

Oh, you've come off the juice

You're sick of all this aural abuse, yeah

Hold the lantern, behold the lantern

Look, frankly you're a freak tonight

You'd stand under my light if I let you

You're looking quite aloof tonight

I'm feeling out of breath since I left you, oh yeah

Oh, freezing to touch you, stand in lantern light

Oh, touch you, beside you, it's greyer than at night
