The arb (spirits)

Every 24 hours
Every 24 years
Every piece that you pick up in passing will
Eventually end up here
And if you ever need a place to stay
Broken hearts and drunks are welcome here
On an empty bed in the basement
You can help with the chores
It sets my heart racing
1000 perfect squares of parceled light shoot through the shades onto our floor
Blue, yellow and green
Sleep with the light on
Unwrites her biography
The blue helps her to sleep
Your eyes are the light on
Our lives are a mystery
The truth will help you to sleep
Sleep with the light on
Sleep here right next to me
Blue and yellow are green
Your eyes are the light on
Our lives are a mystery
And if you ever need a place to stay
The extra bed is yours if you can watch the kids while I run to the store
They pretty much police themselves
They're learning how to count the colored squares of parceled light shot through the shades onto their floor
And their grandparents are proud
They still sleep with the light on
I still sleep with the light on
Our lives are a mystery.
