Looking out
From Mulholland Drive
See the cloud but it
Can't hide the light

And all the wrong
Won't change the right
Just like the dark
Can't hide the light

Stars in the ground
But none in the sky
It's hard to get found
When lost feels so right

And all around
Are bloodshot eyes
But this town
Can't hide the light

I know the golden rule
Is tarnished something dull
And I know that it's been looking gray
And I know I'm going home
When the flame goes out one day
I can't hide the light

Looking out
At hospital signs
Going round
In circles, with lines

Valley thrills
Don't need sleep to fight
But the hills
Can't hide the light

I know the golden rule
Is tarnished something dull
And I know that it's been looking gray
And I know I'm going home
When the flame goes out one day
I can't hide the light

Spending money no one has
To buy a ticket just to see
[to see strangers]
Wax forms of plastic people
You once saw on a movie screen
Little girl, high off the ground [Don't look down]
Don't trip, it's a long way down
It'll all make sense someday
[I promise; it has to.]
Just don't let your light fade
[Please, please don't.]

I know the golden rule
Is tarnished something dull
And I know that it's been looking gray
And I know I'm going home
When the flame goes out one day
I can't hide the light
