Cass McCombs – Switch lyrics

[Verse 1]
You’re so black and white
Polarized by the aisle light
You flicker in my ear
“Let’s put some color in this premiere”

[Verse 2]
You always have the line
You’re both coarse and you’re so fine
In a theater, blind
Come closer til we’re intertwined

[Chorus]
Turn you on, you light up the room
Turn you off, it’s dark as a tomb
You’re like a switch

[Verse 3]
You belong to you
That’s why I love the things you do
Come on out, it’s May Day
“Everyone’s a whore in their own way”

[Verse 4]
Even when you’re throwing shade
Caught in the fold of your own blade
A piggy or a thief
I love you always through joy and grief

[Chorus]
Turn you on, you light up my soul
Turn you off, it’s black as coal
You’re like a switch

[Verse 5]
The law of love ain't fair
Easy for one, leaves another in despair
Travelling the stars
“We live in each other’s hearts”

[Verse 6]
Loaded then you’re clean
I want to crawl up into your screen
Someday you’ll fly away
“That’s the mark of magic, I’d say”

[Chorus]
Turn you on, you light up the world
Turn you off, you make my blood curdle
You’re like a switch

[Chorus]
Turn you on, turn you off
Turn you on, turn you off
You’re like a switch
