Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Momentary pain
Can be pleasure lain
Millisecond change
Magic lantern strings
Are we just too far to be as one again?
Are we obsidian?
Is this how it ends?
[Verse 2]
Girl, your life will turn
Just like a strobe
Because you're daddy's pain
And your mother won't
And your heart engages into heartless throes
Are we obsidian?
Is this how it goes?
[Verse 3]
If when your private life is dreamin'
(You're livin' the strobelite)
And you will find the light you're needin'
(You're livin' the strobelite)
[Verse 4]
Slide the light off you
You may find some peace
All will come to you
If you come with me
Are we just too far to be as one again?
Are we obsidian?
Is this how it ends?
[Verse 5]
And when your private life is dreamin'
(You're livin' the strobelite)
And you will find the light you're needin'
(You're livin' the strobelite)
[Verse 6]
And when your private life is dreamin'
(You're livin' the strobelite)
And you will find the light you're needin'
(You're livin' the strobelite)
[Verse 7]
And when your private life is dreamin'
(You're livin' the strobelite)
And you will find the light you're needin'
(You're livin' the strobelite)
[Verse 8]
(And when your private)
(And when you're dreamin')
(You're livin' the strobelite)
(You've got to find it)
(The light you're needin') Light you're needin'
(You're livin' the strobelite)
[Verse 9]
(And when your private)
(And when you're dreamin')
(You're livin' the strobelite)
(You've got to find it)
(The light you're needin')
(You're livin' the strobelite)
You're livin' the strobelite
