Artificial Light

Slow dancing in a disco
Standing underneath the light show
Illuminated by the artificial lightI disbelieved it at first sight
I couldn't tell if she was black or white
It didn't matter in the artificial lightArtificial light
Artificial light
Artificial light
Artificial lightFirst time I saw her, she was easy to know
She had nothing to hide, she put it all out to show
She didn't cover up or try to conceal
I knew the way she felt 'cause her expression was realShe didn't cover up the inside
She showed it all on the outside
Stark naked in the artificial lightEverybody gotta learn to relax
To be yourself you have to put on an act
Get together in the artificial lightAnd if I saw her in the light of day
I wouldn't know what to say, I wouldn't know what had happened
I only wanna know a world below
Where we can be ourselves beneath an artificial glowAnd if you're scared what your friends'll say
And you're embarrassed by the light of day
Get together in the artificial lightEverybody let yourself go
Everybody to a floor show
Get together in the artificial lightArtificial light
Artificial light
Artificial light
Artificial light
