Bright Lights Songtext
von The Killers

Standing in darkness with empty hands
I still know how to use ′em, but the miles made other plans
Running out of highway, shorter on time
Feel the dead weight deepen and the devil coming down the line
The dashboard shaking, I steady the wheel
And I make every turn by memory, by feel
Towards a black horizon, an unbroken dawn
Will this endless stretch of desert road get me back where I belong?

Will you turn the bright lights on?
Baby, turn the bright lights on
'Cause I haven′t forgotten where it is I'm from
Look out your window for me, here I come
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Baby, turn the bright lights on
Put me back on the corner to sing my song
I'm a shoo-in tonight, turn the bright lights on


I carried my own weight and then some too
There are things I would change, but it ain′t worth going through
Maybe I′m tapped out or just plain old tired
Tonight the charge is reading low, but I'm still hard-wired

Will you turn the bright lights on?
Baby, turn the bright lights on
′Cause I haven't forgotten where it is I′m from
Look out your window for me, here I come
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Baby, turn the bright lights on
Put me back on the corner to sing my song
I'm a shoo-in tonight, turn the bright lights on

Turn the bright lights on

Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn the bright lights on?


Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn, will you turn
Will you turn the bright lights on?
Will you turn, will you turn them on?

You know, I think it′s gonna be alright
You know, I think it's gonna be alright
You know, I think it's gonna be alright
You know, I think it′s gonna be alright
Tonight, tonight, tonight, yeah

You know, I think it′s gonna be alright
You know, I think it's gonna be alright
Just take me back and let me sing my song
Turn the bright lights on

Turn the bright lights on
Turn the bright lights on
