When I'm on will you leave me on?
When I'm on will you leave me on?
And when I'm down will you let me get under?
Take cover, can't hide without a house.
Newspapers blow over.
Can't walk past the driveway without asking for direction,
So full of stupid questions.

When the daylight's like fluorescent light
I'm going to take my time night by night
When the daylight's like fluorescent light
I hang my hands over your eyes to hide

Why not only rescue me?
I watch that telethon,
Got hung up on the word I can't get over, soldier.
When she said nothing is enough, she doesn't mean don't try to fix it.
Make plans with your other hand,
Dream without concession.

When the daylight's like fluorescent light
I'm going to take my time night by night
When the daylight's like fluorescent light
I hang my hands over your eyes to hide

Bruised, Billy Joel, New York state of mind
Take cover, take pleasure
