lyrics

Strange Light (Popp, O'Donnell)

Young girl playing out in the yard,
Long ago before life got too hard,
Doesn’t hide from the coming thundersquall.

Spinning in the lightning flash,
White picket fence that needs to be smashed,
Plans her exit from the suburban sprawl.

Laughing at the storm,
She closes her eyes and blindly follows.
There she is, dancing in the strange light,
In the strange light.

Gets a guitar and writes some songs,
Has a following before too long,
An old soul, genius beyond her years.

New voice of the millennium,
Shows filling stadiums,
Crowd sways, a din of screams and cheers.

Exhausted, but content,
She closes her eyes and blindly follows.
There she is, dancing in the strange light,
In the strange light.

Time flickers like old movies,
Brief lights against your face.
Fleeting moments pass right through me,
Impossible to seize the day.

Where are the fans now end has come?
All alone, she wants to go numb.
A nurse injects an overdose of morphine.

The pulsing tone goes steady,
She closes her eyes and blindly follows.
There she is, dancing in the strange light.

The pulsing tone goes steady,
She closes her eyes and blindly follows.
There she is, dancing in the strange light,
In the strange light.
