Night Light

John Darnielle

[Verse 1]
Pull my mask so tight
Till it pinches my skin
Nerves strung so high
I am a mandolin

Jenny calls from Montana
She's only passing through
Probably never see her again in this life, I guess
Not sure what I'm gonna do

[Chorus]
Plug a night light in
Leave the porch light on
Because the small, dark corners
Have designs on me
Live like an outlaw
Clutching gold coins in his claw

[Verse 2]
Room full of ambitious young policemen
Everybody trying to make his mark
I was a red dot blinking on a screen up overhead
And then, the room went dark

Dream of maybe waking up someday
And wanting you less than I do
This is a dream, though
It's never gonna come true

[Chorus]
Plug a night light in
Leave the porch light on
Because the small, dark corners
Are establishing a colony
Live like an outlaw
Clutching gold coins in his claw

[Verse 3]
Can't ever set aside the sweetness
Of the days before the crews put up the border
Fields full of wet rain
Cling tight to their memory forever

Think about Montana when I close my eyes
Possibly, Jenny's headed east
Count a couple of stray hopes out loud
May their numbers one day be increased

[Chorus]
Plug a night light in
Leave the porch light on
Because the small, dark corners
Breathe like heavy animals
Live like an outlaw
Clutching gold coins in his claw
