By God Songtext
von Houndmouth

By God, won′t you please just cut out the light?

Suzan won't you help me to draw the line
Between boozy women and having
Cigarettes and wine
There seems to be no room here for my laughter
But you never seemed to mind all those guys before

By God, won′t you please just cut out the light?
But whatever you do
Won't you leave my candle burning?


Working for my nickel down at the armory
Trying to support my dime lifestyle
The bossman telling me I'd better get it done
What a way to treat the boy who′s your only son

By God, won′t you please just cut out the light?
But whatever you do
Won't you leave my candle burning?

Doubt your money out on your own dime
You stole somebody′s heart my dear
But it sure as hell wasn't mine
Pick your rags up off my bedroom floor
I done told you one time you′re not welcome here no more

By God, won't you please just cut out the light?
But whatever you do
Won′t you leave my candle burning?

By God, won't you please just cut out the light?
