Lamp Down Low

from Samurai by the mountain firework company

lyrics

well it's good to warm these weary bones
in the low light of an old flame
and I guess there's no real harm done as it's just not the same
where once burned a mighty forest fire
a burning building all full of desire
only the smouldering shell remains
and the smoke of illusion hangs in the air like a stain

go on babe, turn your lamp down low
go on babe, turn your lamp down low
go on babe, turn your lamp down low
treat me right honey let me go....

are your eyes playing tricks in the shadows on the wall
was that really love you lost was it ever there at all
though the flame still flickers but the wall is bare
don't get fooled again by what never was there
where only the smoke and the mirrors remain
come on lie to me baby wont you lie to me again

come on babe turn your lamp down low
go on babe, turn your lamp down low
go on babe, turn your lamp down low
treat me right honey let me go

come on babe turn your lamp down low
go on babe, turn your lamp down low
go on babe, turn your lamp down low

treat me right honey let me go
treat me right honey let me go
let me go let me go let me go let me go
