lyrics
With everything Grey Cell Green in the end
Canary-yellow legal pad, and a felt tip black pen
Sat down on the corner of 12th St. and A
as though I lived upstairs.
My mind was a razor, my mouth was agape,
as 1,000 words a minute committed my dailies to tape,
but I bleat, like a mute in the steeple, with dust in the air.
And my hand clamped, a vice on the stylus,
as my bad buy beat out everything I wanted to say.
Now I can see clearly, now, that when the rain is gone
there's gonna be a black spot on the pavement that day.
My whole world made up of this violet dread
Put down all the times that I wished you were dead.
Licked the seal, kissed the stamp, dropped my arm,
walked home and walked tall.
And I realized quickly, in a haze of white noise,
that for the first time in months, I missed the sound of your voice
the only eyes on my back were the lights
of the next passing car.
And my hand clamped, a vice on the stylus,
as my bad guy bleat out everything I wanted to say.
Now I can see clearly, now, that when the rain is gone
there's gonna be a black spot on the pavement that day.
I peeled back the paper where we used to run tongues,
I made doubly certain that every line had been crossed
on the beach, where we once stubbed our toes
in a rush to the fall.
With nothing to eat, and a notch in my belt
I felt then like Linda Perry must have felt
when she quit that band, and took up a room with
no doors and no walls.
And my hand clamped, a vice on the stylus,
as my bad guy bleat out everything I wanted to say.
Now I can see clearly, now, that when the rain is gone
there's gonna be a black spot on the pavement that day,
and it's gonna be a bright, bright sunshine-y day.
