Hey when the need becomes too strong or long, drawn out for me to take

Like a cigarette burn to the fleshy turbines of my heart

That faded afternoon floats breezily into my memory

Cool shafts of light appear and I'm left here

Standing naked on my own

Your voice is small on my voice mail system, a million miles away

But if I turned it off I would not hear the little things you say

The world must chill and like a king I ring up old acquaintances

It's like the man says, "I ain't here on business

It's all work anyway"

On any other day

They say the light has got no equal

On any other day

The date's irrelevant but she was drunk in the heat of the June night

The faces in the windows shout rang out into dawn's early light

The flailing arms and scrambling eggs I fled on my two shambling legs

"I gotta go", I said, they both looked dead, on any other day

On any other day

They say the light has got no equal

On any other day

On any other day

They say the light has got no equal

On any other day

The fire blazed away, the kitchen porch was all that remained

And I'm out here alone, beat up and pissed until this very day

That old hotel rang back in fuzzy time and I was ravaged to the bone

Your voice got smaller 'til I realized that it was gone

On any other day

They'd say the light has got no equal

On any other day

On any other day

I swear the light has got no equal

On any other day

I realize, I realize

It was gone
This song is from the album "Let Me Come Over".
