There’s a moon over Atwater Village tonight
And the clouds are so violent and violet and bright
And the traffic sounds just like the ocean
I’m so sad that I’m bursting with light

With light! I’m bursting with light
With light! I’m so sad that I’m bursting with light

Ah yep, ah yep, ah yep, ah yep
Ah yep! Ah yep, ah yep, ah yep

And I dream of an audience I can impress
And I’m wearing a suit and you’re wearing a dress
And the people are smiling and nodding
They’re so happy that I am depressed

Depressed! Depressed, yes I am depressed
(Depressed) They’re so happy that I am depressed

Ah yep, ah yep, ah yep, ah yep
Ah yep! Ah yep, ah yep, ah yep

I don’t know if it’s even important to know
If I’m thinking or feeling
All I know is I’m sad and I’m happy at once
My memories are reeling

Can’t you see that I’m fire deep down in my bones
I’m a bank and I’m giving out infinite loans
And somehow I’m sad but I’m soaring
Schizophrenics are manning the phones

The phones! The phones, they’re manning the phones
Schizophrenics are manning the phones

Ah yep, ah yep, ah yep, ah yep
Ah yep! Ah yep, ah yep, ah yep

There’s a moon over Atwater Village tonight
And the clouds are so violent and violet and bright
The traffic sounds just like the ocean
I’m so sad that I’m bursting with light

With light! I’m bursting with light
With light! I’m so sad that I’m bursting with light
With light! With light! I’m bursting with light
With light! I’m so sad that I’m bursting with light
