Maybe on a sunday night
Pop music in the acid light
I remember when you sister died
Slow motion on the satellite
I remember I was lying in my bedroom
Wishing that a love would come to me
Flesh for fantasy

We were listening to Thunder Road
"My Little Runaway" hot and cold
There's a lot of ways you could go
I hear you singing on the radio
You say you're leaving
But you know I'm gonna find you
I'm gonna be your suicide
Don't kill the light
Don't kill the light

It's gonna hit you when the light goes out
They don't even know your name
And there's a lot of kids hangin' out
But nobody can touch your fame
It's gonna hit you when the light goes out
They don't even know your name

So Jenny don't kill the light
I know I said I would, but hey I lie
I'm gonna meet you on the other side
Your boy said he wants you back tonight
He always said I'm gonna love you 'till I'm crazy
I'm gonna love you till I'm dead
A place to lay my head
To lay my head

It's gonna hit you when the light goes out
They don't even know your name
And there's a lot of kids hangin' out
But nobody can touch your fame
It's gonna hit you when the light goes out
They don't even know your name

This isn't love, it's not the same
It's like she said
Here comes the rain
And if you wanna stay alive
The preacher says you've got to die
Here's the scene
You give, I take
Are the pretty girls in Silverlake
The kind that make a boy forget
That there's nothing really to forget

Maybe on a Sunday night
Pop music in an acid light
I remember when you sister died
Slow motion on the satellite
You say you're leaving
But you know I'm gonna find you
I'm gonna be your suicide
Don't kill the light
Jenny don't kill the light
Don't kill the light
