Now heaven knows I`ve got one short damn fuse
So come sit down a spell while I light up the room
If walls could talk, they`d be know-it-all`s
So we live in the sticks, and aren`t some fish you can catch
And it makes my skin crawl
I`m not the sharpest tool in the shed, so what`s the use?
And she knew, she knew...
He fights like hell because he wants to glow
And would tackle the sun to be a bright bulb
I wonder if he`ll wake us up in time?
He`s gray
And has to hide somewhere in between black and white
Cause it`s safe
But never was brave before it`s over
I hope he takes you too
They say attack can be your best defense
And I`ve got mother`s smile, both my dad`s fists
John Doe escapes, carry his name
And when it`s time to sign, ask where; not why
And it makes my blood boil
Those black letter days, all their mail just winds up lost
He`s gray
And has to hide somewhere in between black and white
Cause it`s safe
But never was brave before it`s over
I hope he takes you too
You`ll see whispers in the winter
My temper doesn`t laugh
And every spring, I hear them sing, I hear them sing
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh
Every spring, I hear them sing, I hear them sing
Every spring, I hear them sing
If he`s going dow
If he`s going under the ground
I hope he takes you too
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I hope he takes you too
