Lever Pulled Down Lyrics - Sam Phillips

In this dead-eyed world 

How long before they tell you how far you've come? 

What do you have to make to make good 

And when can we raise the roof to the stars? 

I'm a lever pulled down 

I'm a flipped switch 

I'm a lever pulled down 

From the fire in the air 

I'm a lever pulled down 

And I'll live my life for the lightning in our dreams 

In this dead-eyed world 

You've gotta keep your gaze steady and long 

And when good fortune turns away 

Be willing to go on alone 

I'm a lever pulled down 

I'm a flipped switch 

I'm a lever pulled down 

From the fire in the air 

I'm a lever pulled down 

And I'll live my life for the lightning in our dreams 

In this dead-eyed world 

They say you'll never make it 

With only a half a life more 

But love's electric raises up 

What the whole world leaves behind 

I'm a lever pulled down 

I'm a flipped switch 

I'm a lever pulled down 

And I don't know why it's so 

I'm a lever pulled down 

And I'll live my life for the lightning in our dreams 

From the lightning in our dreams 

I live this life
