Buy a flower
Buy a frame
For the picture
We won't take
This tie will choke me
Half to death
This shirt is soaking
In nervous sweat

The way the lights
They shine on you
Shine on everything you do
Pulsating backbeat shakes the floor
It's got me aching that much more
When they shine on you

On the outside
Looking in
The room around me
Seems to spin
In the corner
Face in hands
Tears they dry
I'm half a man

The way the lights
They shine on you
Shine on everything you do
Pulsating backbeat shakes the floor
It's got me aching that much more
When they shine on you

And they shine, shine, shine, shine on you
And they shine, shine, shine, shine on you

Walk home alone
To a bed
Empty, cold
Dark and dead
On the mattress
Face in hands
Tears they fall
I'm half a man

The way the lights
They shine on you
Shine on everything you do
Pulsating backbeat shakes the floor
It makes me want you that much more
The way the lights
They shine on you
Shine on everything you do
Pulsating backbeat shakes the floor
I'm hurting so much more
When they shine on you.
