Mountain Goats - Flashing Lights lyrics

I am wearing a white long sleeved button-down.

the pink colors behind the clouds tonight

mirror the softer shades of your nightgown

as the neuro-transmitters go crazy inside of me

you swear you're leaving town

empty promises empty promises.

I am watching the way the wind seems to pass straight through your body.

when you run your fingernail along my neck, you spill some water on me.

you say you're as good as gone

well, don't look now but here comes the dawn

empty promises empty promises.

empty promises empty promises.
