You’re so black and white
polarized by the aisle light
you flicker in my ear
“Let’s put some color in this premiere”
You always have the line
you’re both coarse and you’re so fine
in a theater, blind
come closer til we’re intertwined
Turn you on, you light up the room
turn you off, it’s dark as a tomb
you’re like a switch
You belong to you
that’s why I love the things you do
come on out, it’s May Day
“Everyone’s a whore in their own way”
Even when you’re throwing shade
caught in the fold of your own blade
a piggy or a thief
I love you always through joy and grief
Turn you on, you light up my soul
turn you off, it’s black as coal
you’re like a switch
The law of love aint fair
easy for one, leaves another in despair
travelling the stars
“We live in each other’s hearts”
Loaded then you’re clean
I want to crawl up into your screen
someday you’ll fly away
“That’s the mark of magic, I’d say”
Turn you on, you light up the world
turn you off, you make my blood curdle
you’re like a switch
Turn you on, turn you off
turn you on, turn you off
you’re like a switch

Maybe the best thing David ever did, which makes me extremely sad. A Jews record in all but name, but more direct in its lyricism without losing that indescribable feeling, that beauty and sorrow and lighthearted sarcasm all rolled into one profound set of lyrics that are David Berman. Not to mention the band playing on the record is probably the best Berman ever recorded with. Rest in Peace DCB. jack_thorn16
