A little light on the subject

Lights - Victoria Williams

Lights of the city look so good
Almost like somebody thought they would
Thought they would

What kinda song would you give
If you had a song to give?
What kinda life would you live
If you had a life to live?

Now, wouldn't you wanna make something good that you could look on?
Give you lots of pleasure?
Yeah, you would

What about this thing that you gave?
What if it weren't quite perfect?
What if there was something bad about it?
Wouldn't you still love it just the same?
Wouldn't you still care about it?

The lights of the city look so good
Almost like somebody thought they would
Thought they would
