A fleeting reference to the Roger Zelazny novel Jack of Shadows exists only in my mind

lyrics

Found a trouble sunbeam she was bouncing off the walls
Caught you in my prism and I put you in my mirror ball
Now every Friday night it shone like a Sunday morn
And every day was better than the day before

You can't keep a sunbeam you can't keep it all the time
Flashes on and off and she goes right out of her mind
She'll shine you in your eyes and make you blind
Oh you went right out the window leaving me behind

Now I'm looking for a little light
I've been looking for you day and night
All the bright lights they don't shine for me
You've got to come on back to me

I went to Jamaica, I went to Jamaica Queens
I went to Coney Island and all the places in between
More and more it feels like was all just a beautiful dream
Fading on awakening, wondering what it means

Now I'm looking for a little light
I've been looking for you day and night
All the bright lights they don't shine for me
You've got to come on back to me

I know I was wrong
I know I was wrong
I know I was a tyrant

Now I'm looking for a little light
I've been looking for you day and night
All the bright lights they don't shine for me
You've got to come on back to me
