Lyrics:We're All Light

by XTC

Album version:

And I won't take from you Don't you know, 'bout a zillion years ago Some star sneezed Now their paging you in reception Don't you know, Jack and Jillion years ago Some dinosaur dropped the pail When it saw our reflection Don't you know we're all light? Yeah I read that someplace Don't you know we're all light? Yeah I read that someplace So you won't mind if I kiss you now Before indecision can bite Don't you know, in this new Dark Age We're all light Don't you know, 'bout your finger tips away Is a universe of atoms That thinks you're real something Don't you know, Just a couple of lips away Is an evolutionary Bean Feast who's insides are jumping Don't you know we're all light? Yeah I read that someplace Don't you know we're all light? Yeah it's a bumper sticker someplace So you won't mind if I kiss you now We may hear the angels recite Don't you know in this new Dark Age We're all light And I won't take from you What you can't take from me   And I'll leave nothing here That you can't use upon your trip I won't take from you What you can't take from me   And I'll leave nothing here But love and milk a plenty For your tea Don't you know, 'pon the pillion of times bike We roar on to the stage And too soon we're dead centre Don't you know, Buffalo Billion's raised his sight He's picking off the whole herd As soon as we enter So you won't mind if I kiss you now And maybe come on in for the night Don't you know in this new Dark Age We're all light We're all light (And I won't take from you        What you can't take from me) You know where you itch Is a little tiny switch And if you let me in   I can show you just the pin That you put in the slot When the element gets hot And the stuff just pours out Oh we're light Kiss me now Just kiss me now
