ALL LIT UP

words and music by Kasey Anderson

all the bright, blue sparks
you send screaming down the boulevard
they all come back whispering
just like me
and your bloodshot stare
burns straight through the daylight’s glare
i don’t know where you learned that look
but i know it didn’t come free

you said you were a loaded gun; a clip-point blade
with a front-row seat to the fool’s parade
i thought i was bulletproof, well honey, no one is
but i’ve got a pretty good view from right here where i live
and everything is all lit up
everything is all lit up
everything is all lit up
i’m all lit up

all your midnight wolves,
you keep ‘em howlin’ at themselves
i don’t know how you think over all that whining
and your renaissance men
are circling your gate again
so if it’s all the same, i’ll just stand back and watch you shine

you said you broke the lock but you kept the chain
then you fell in love with your getaway
well, your upstairs room ain’t no place to hide
so grab your coat, come take a look outside
everything is all lit up
everything is all lit up
everything is all lit up
i’m all lit up
