Turn Out the Light (Live) [09/25/84 Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ] Songtext
von Lou Reed

Lover, lover, why is there light?
The itchy-gitchy evening and it′s dark outside
And what's the difference between wrong and right
Wrong and right

Isn′t it funny how pain goes away?
And then comes back another day
The air feels very good today
Good today

Lover, lover, why is there light?
Did you forget to turn off that light?
Well, that's all right but it's way too bright
Way too bright


See the eagle above the hill
The lake reflects and is so still
The tension has gone from my will
From my will

Moon on the mountain shining bright
First there is dark and then there is light
And sometimes the light is way too bright
It′s way too bright

Why don′t you turn off the light?
Oh, turn off the light
Why don't you turn off the light?
Turn off the light
Turn off the light
Turn off the light
