Dim Red Light (Make It Shine)

by Don DiLego

/

lyrics

I feel pretty good and I swear I’m not lying
Well, this worlds on fire, but I’m not afraid of dying
There’s a light up ahead and it’s a brand new city
And the closer we get it all seems so damn pretty

I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love with everything
With the smoke, and the fire, and the drowning of our sins
I’m in love, with the stones, that are thrust against my bones
They give me hope that I’m not ordinary and not quite yet a ghost

So when I’m gone gone gone, I know you’ll carry on
I’m gonna leave this world one day, and it won’t be long
Cause we’re all ghosts in waiting, and there’s a dim red light
But before I’m long gone baby, I’m gonna make it shine

I feel pretty good if I don’t mind sayin’
We’re gonna roll the dice it feels as good as prayin’

I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love with everything
With the smoke, and the wind, and the struggle there within
I’m in love with the signs, that burn like neon in my mind
They give me hope that I’m not ordinary and not quite yet a ghost

So when I’m gone gone gone, I know you’ll carry on
I’m gonna leave this world one day, and it won’t be long
Cause we’re all ghosts in waiting, and there’s a dim red light
But before I’m long gone baby, I’m gonna make it shine

I feel good just knowin’, that you’re along for the ride
Cause this life ain’t easy, it’s a lonesome fight
So let’s try and keep from falling, let’s try and keep our sides
It’s a long, long way from the mistakes we’ve made
But a short walk back to the light

So when I’m gone gone gone, I know you’ll carry on
I’m gonna leave this world one day, and it won’t be long
Cause we’re all ghosts in waiting, and there’s a dim red light
But before I’m long gone baby, I’m gonna make it shine
Yeah before I’m long gone baby, I’m gonna make it shine
