You Are A Light Lyrics
Tangled in the midst of all the trust
The way you pissed inside
The brain file technology drives
Show me you dots now.
Who was it that said the world
Was mainly all divorces and spare change?
Let's lethalize our slingshots
And swallow propane
You are the liiiight
The calm in the day
You are the liiiight
The calm in the day
Senior year abroad I ripped
The pea out of the pod
In store for three months
Of exile in spain
Where was the danger?
Watch out for the gypsy children
In electric dresses
They're insane
I hear they live in crematoriums
and smoke your remains
You are the liiiight
The calm in the day
You are the liiiight
The calm in the day
My drive, stick,
Gotta love it, Automatic
Oh everybody's gotta ride in something
High life, lived,
comatosed him!
Bring it on in
O I hope it arrives by monday
Dry ice, skid,
button the strippers and quarantine nippers
I have to die on sunday
Irate kid,
laundromatt spinners and let's act like winners
Who rolls with the isolator
Gotta roam cause i am the isolator
The way you pissed inside
The brain file technology drives
Show me you dots now.
Who was it that said the world
Was mainly all divorces and spare change?
Let's lethalize our slingshots
And swallow propane
You are the liiiight
The calm in the day
You are the liiiight
The calm in the day
The pea out of the pod
In store for three months
Of exile in spain
Where was the danger?
Watch out for the gypsy children
In electric dresses
They're insane
I hear they live in crematoriums
and smoke your remains
You are the liiiight
The calm in the day
You are the liiiight
The calm in the day
Gotta love it, Automatic
Oh everybody's gotta ride in something
High life, lived,
comatosed him!
Bring it on in
O I hope it arrives by monday
Dry ice, skid,
button the strippers and quarantine nippers
I have to die on sunday
Irate kid,
laundromatt spinners and let's act like winners
Who rolls with the isolator
Gotta roam cause i am the isolator

This is the eeriest love song ever--probably my favorite Pavement song. I've listened to Terror Twilight a billion times and I think I'll always claim it as my favorite album of all time--"Watch out for for the gypsy children in electric dresses they're insane, I hear they live in creamatoriums and smoke your remains, you are the li hi hi hi ihgt, the calm in the day! YEAH (guitar solo)
Why do people keep passing around these incorrect lyrics? I have no idea what that last verse is but anywhere you look on the Internet, all you will find is this one transcription of the lyrics.
i think the last verse that's up there is more or less right...as for the ??????? bit, my guess is:
"let's act like winners and--"
@dio_march that is friggin perfect! you are dead on!
@dio_march that is friggin perfect! you are dead on!
aaaahhhh "I hear they live in crematoriums and smoke your remains" how tight is that?
I think this is just a song about a significant other who is his shining prize. In the craziness of life, she is the "calm in the day"
i think "i rake in" above is actually "irate kid."
Erie Love Tune :)
Let's lethalize our slingshots and swallow propane You are the light, the calm in the day
malkmus is fucking gold. hearing those two lines make me ridiculously happy & mushy and with an overwhelming urge to find a partner in crime.
My drive stick, gotta love it, automatic
Dry ice, skid, button your slippers… [???] And oh, I have to die on Sunday Irate kid, laundry-matt spinners, and let's act like winners And oh, who roams with the isolater? Gotta roam 'cause I am the isolater
Also, instead of "Who was it that said the world was mainly all divorces and spare change" I can't help but hear "Who was it that said the world was mania, divorces and space change?"
And I can't hear LIVED in this line..."High life, lived, comatosed him, bring it all in"... perhaps he's saying LIT?
I dont know where else to find such amazing trippy breakdowns...mars volta has some similarities (i bet they listened to pavement back in the day), but its just not the same. anyone have examples they could show me? it would be greatly appreciated :)
