Shine A Light Lyrics

My favorite Daniel Johnston song was recorded on a tape
deck before you were born
There’s a lyric in the chorus where he talks about joy
and it held my hand through an infinite void.
There was a girl in Ohio and my feelings were pure- still
I finally got kicked off of that tour
cause my heart has a habit and sometimes it shows
Saint Paul made a girl into an english rose.

Shine a Light on Me…
They Laughed and threw some rotten apples but I wasn’t on
the stage that night
I was in the fourth grade with a boom box symphony and
808 bass hits hidden in a microchip.
The record company pushed for a hard hard sell but I
couldn’t check out of the roach motel
cause my heart has a habit and sometimes it shows
Saint Paul made a girl into an english rose.

Shine a Light on me…
