Leaving The Hall Light On

(album: Sleeping With Girls - 1986)

See Bob
He is a hard working architect
He likes his cocaine on a Saturday night
He likes his cocaine almost 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

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 would treat her unkind
She turned to Jesus
When she should have turned in to her mind

There's so many people in this world
So many people in this world

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?
