Blue Light, Red Light

I live in a tiny closet



A lukewarm cold water flat



With room for a couple of cinders



And a mouse, a hole and a trap



I don't worry about the flights



Or count the stairs



'Cause I know someone's there



I took a high paying sweeping-up job



Dusting after somebody else



Seeing that there's clean on the windows



Convincing the snow to melt



I don't worry about the ride



Or the subway fare



'Cause I know someone's there



One day we'll move uptown



Or even out to the country side



And for every leaf on a tree



We'll add one cub to the pride



Who cares if the floor ain't level



Or if the ceiling falls in



Haunted by the devil



Or ghosts and boogeymen



I can't be concerned



Why should I care



No place I'd go alone would compare



'Cause I know, I know you're there



One day we'll move uptown



Or even out to the country side



And for every leaf on a tree



We'll add one cub to the pride



Who cares if the floor ain't level



Or if the ceiling falls in



Haunted by the devil



And ghosts and boogeymen



I can't be concerned



Why should I care



No place I'd go alone would compare



'Cause I know, I know you're there
