The stories behind A Working Light

• The Small Green Light Behind "A Working Light" — A soft pop tribute built around the plainest possible goal of the job: a device that comes back on and stays on.

Lyrics

Before the Doors Wake

Up When the day begins and the room feels bright, you bring the heartbeat back

to life, all I want is a

working life.

You read every number like a morning paper, find a sleepy

fault hiding under the vapor.

The clinic takes a breath, the hallway starts to hum.

You give the nurses room to do what they've come to do.

All I want is a working light.

A little green hello saying we're alright.

When the day begins and the room feels bright you bring the heartbeat

back to life

all i want is a working life

if a beep goes beep beep you don't make a fuss you say let's

see what's tickling us a twist

A test, a test, a cheerful little click

And the stubborn box is feeling fine real quick

All I want is a working light

A little green hello saying we're alright

When the day begins and the room feels bright

You bring the heartbeat back to life

All I want is a working

life

Yes, all I want is a working life
