[Verse]
I bought a lampshade at the store today
The man there called it one-of-a-kind
As I went up with my cash to pay
The man there called it sentimental
I hung it up along my ceiling
It's hanging right above my TV
And when it's lit up I can start to see
The light it gives the room is very gentle

[Chorus]
So why do I lay with all the lights off most the time
Am I confused about the where, the when, the why?
Of how I can't seem to breathe the same when I'm a fly
Looking against your life
I'm looking out against you
I'm looking out against you
I'm looking out against you
I'm looking out against you

[Verse 2]
I put the lampshade in my car
Drovе along the rain-soaked path back to the storе
I told the man that it was sweet, but not for me
He said, "Okay", and gave me twenty back, and change
I said, "I don't have use for such a thing"
I never turn my lights on anyway
