Stephen Bishop: Hall light [lyrics]

Stephen Bishop

Hall light

See Bob

He is a hard working architect

He likes his cocaine on a saturday night

He likes his cocaine every night

That's Bob

That's Bob

See June

She works 9 to 5 for husband Bob

She hides her bruises

With her white Maybelline

She's so afraid of him

Her life is sink or swim

That's June

CHORUS

There's so many people in this world

So many people in this world

See Alicia

She was young with a love for life

She had a father who could treat her unkind

She turned to Jesus

When she should have turned in to her mind

CHORUS

See Steve

He had a fat creepy stepfather

Who kept his rifles

In a room by the hall

Young Steve loved rock 'n' roll

And Kim loved nothing at all

Some people

Can't forgive the kid who grows up hurt

That kid was you my friend

And that kid was me

Did you like to leave the hall light on?

Are you going to leave the hall light on forever?

Forever? Forever?

CHORUS
