Jethro Tull - Lights Out (Nightcap: The Unreleased Masters 1973-1991)

Last light's out
They're all abed
And something's in my room
Creeping down towards me on the wall

Daddy said it's just some flickering
headlight through the gloom
Making shapes through trees outside the hall

But what the hell does he know?
He doesn't feel the dread
The cold restricting terror in the dark

I've seen that silhouette before
Something the newsman said
Something about some monster in the park

Chorus:
It's you, you're the man on the TV screen
It's you front page face of the dead
Locked up in the light of day
At night come out to play
To terrorize me there above my bed

The air is still and heavy now
There's thunder in the sky
He's dreaming up some message he can send

I'm scared completely helpless
and I think I'm going to cry
Are grownups brave or do they just pretend?

His face is growing clearer
I can see his eyes glow red
My teddy bear's the only friend I can feel

The shadow's hand slips down the wall
And touches teddy's head
I now suspect that shadow will touch me

Chorus

Repeat chorus

It's you...

Jethro Tull - Rock Island (04:15)
Lyrics: Savage night on a misty island. Lights wink out in the canyon walls. Two old boys in a
stolen racer. Black rubber contrails in the unwashed halls. And all roads out of here, seem to lead
right back to the Rock Island. I've gone back to Paris, London, and even riding on a jumbo to
Bombay. The long haul back holds faint attraction, but the people here know they're ok See the girl
following the red balloon: walking all alone on her Rock Island. Doesn't everyone have their own
Rock ...
