lyrics

in Manitoba with a wire in my jaw
the clenching cold giving way to the thaw
light echoing off the melting snow,
I will see that, and I will know

in Minnesota we’ll be wasting away
shut in all winter with a case of Mt. Gay
but when the moon rises high
I’ll change my mind

it can’t all be perfect all the time
it’s not always worth it to survive
so why hide?
light ‘em up. light ‘em up.

in Salt Lake City I’ll stop to unload
flee from life to drive these deep desert roads
like a penitent in a labyrinth
with my 5-disc changer

South Carolina may be where it breaks bad
shooting lasers at a billboard of the confederate flag
headed down to the coast, or what’s left of it
you’ll attract some attention

it can’t all be perfect all the time
it’s not always worth it but I’m undivided
I want to be undivided

in San Diego with a drink in my palm
just me and the sunset and the shattering calm
they will bust down the door with ridiculous force
nice men just got a couple questions!

in Corpus Christi or the outlying ‘burbs
NSA van idling out at the curb
you will always know when they’re here for you
it’s just something on the breeze

it can’t all be perfect all the time –
it’s not always worth it.
but life remains undivided
and I’m right here inside it.
light ‘em up. light ‘em up. light ‘em up. light ‘em up. light ‘em up. light ‘em up. light ‘em up.
