James McMurtry - Rayolight Lyrics






The streets are emptied out and silent
Standing here all stupified and stunned
You Say you need a rayolight
Had enough of my blinding insight
Well I guess I can't blame you none
Whatever it is won't go down easy
Keeps on rearing its ugly head again
But I could use a rayolight
Had enough of this mindless fight
Right now we're both too tired to win

[Chorus:]
I propose we shed these clothes
And rest this thing
Find us a place where the creeks run clear
And the phone don't ring

These old rough edges we keep finding
Sooner or later they'll wear down smooth and shiny

[Chorus]

There's traffic on the street
It's getting pale in the east
We'll be all right for now at least

There's a rayolight stabbing through
Could be we learned a trick or two
As the streetlights fade we can pull the shades
And rest this thing
Find us a place where the creeks runs clear
And the phone don't ring
These old rough edges we keep finding
Just got to work 'em a while till they wear down
Smooth and shiny

Rayolight [repeat to fade]

    "Rayolight"

    The streets are emptied out and silent
    Standing here all stupified and stunned
    You Say you need a rayolight
    Had enough of my blinding insight
    Well I guess I can't blame you none
    Whatever it is won't go down easy
    Keeps on rearing its ugly head again
    But I could use a rayolight
    Had enough of this mindless fight
    Right now we're both too tired to win

    [Chorus:]
    I propose we shed these clothes
    And rest this thing
    Find us a place where the creeks run clear
    And the phone don't ring

    These old rough edges we keep finding
    Sooner or later they'll wear down smooth and shiny

    [Chorus]

    There's traffic on the street
    It's getting pale in the east
    We'll be all right for now at least

    There's a rayolight stabbing through
    Could be we learned a trick or two
    As the streetlights fade we can pull the shades
    And rest this thing
    Find us a place where the creeks runs clear
    And the phone don't ring
    These old rough edges we keep finding
    Just got to work 'em a while till they wear down
    Smooth and shiny

    Rayolight [repeat to fade]

    Would you PRRRRETTY PLEEEEASE add Red Dress to this? I looked n looked for it but I could only find the Live version and it was terrible because it was all distorted! I would love to see this group in concert but when it comes to listening to tunes at home...I hate Live Versions. Thank you.
