Jason Boland & The Stragglers
Bulbs
[Verse 1]
Kickin' off of centerfield
A question of bein' down for the game
The one-shot deal don't matter
All the other ones are the same
[Verse 2]
Oh my friend, I can see you
I want you to come through
She's standin' in the shadows
Where the streetlights all turn blue
[Verse 3]
She's leavin' pan-America
A suitcase in her hand
I said her brothers and her sisters
They're all on Atlantic sand
[Verse 4]
She’s screamin' through the alleyways
Oh, I can hear her lonesome cry, so why can't you?
Her batteries are corroded
And her hundred-watt bulb just blew
[Chorus]
Lie-dee-lie-lie-lie, hey hey hey
Lie-dee-lie-lie-lie
Lie-dee-lie-lie-lie
Lie-dee-lie-lie-lie
[Verse 5]
Used to hang out down at Miss Lucy's
Every weekend they'd get looze
They said it was a straight clear case of
They had taken in too much juice
[Verse 6]
And it was inside and it was outside
Just the nature of the person
And all you got to remember
After all it's, it's all showbiz
[Chorus]
Lie-dee-lie-lie-lie, hey hey hey
Lie-dee-lie-lie-lie
Lie-dee-lie-lie-lie
Lie-dee-lie-lie-lie
[Verse 7]
Oh, she's screamin' through the alleyways
Yeah, I can hear her lonesome cry, so why can't you?
And she's standin' in the shadows
Where the streetlights, they all turn blue
[Outro]
And she's standin' in the shadows
Canal streetlights all turn blue
And she's standin' in the shadows
Where the streetlights all turn blue
