Meet me tonight on Mount Rushmore,
I'll hang Christmas lights on every dead president I see for you,
Catch every fish in the sea for you.
Some say you only see the light when you're first born,
That's why we spend our life in this psych ward.
Well I was always crazy,
And I'm gonna let the light shine on me.
Let the light shine on me,
Shine on you.
Meet me tonight on Mount Rushmore.
'Cause we're free to do what we want,
And I'll do anything for you.
Meet me tonight on Mount Rushmore.
Jane says she'll kick tomorrow,
But I know she's way to sick.
She's past the point where she wants to live.
Something's gotta give.
I talk to her, ask her why,
She lost interest in the sunrise.
And I hold her when she getting sick,
But even I'm starting to think she needs a fix.
(And she don't need a fix)
Let the light shine on me,
Shine on you.
Meet me tonight on Mount Rushmore.
'Cause we're free to do what we want,
And I'll do anything for you.
Meet me tonight on Mount Rushmore.
I had a dream it went like this --
You were serving cocktails,
I was your prince granting your every wish.
Then the writing on the wall,
Something 'bout how all kings fall,
And the sun will burn us all... eventually.
So, meet me tonight on Mount Rushmore.
