Bright Bulbs & Sharp Tools

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-alls
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?
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
(Chorus)
He’s gray and has to hide somewhere in between black and white
Cause its safe, but never was brave
Before it’s over
I hope he takes you too
You too
They say attack can be the best defense
And I’ve got mother’s smile and both my dad’s fists
If 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
(Chorus)
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 too
You’ll see whispers in the winter
My temper doesn’t laugh
And every spring I hear them sing, I hear them sing
Oh Every spring I hear them sing,
I hear them sing
Every spring I hear them sing
If he’s going down
If he’s going under the ground
I hope he takes you too
You too, whoa
I hope he takes you too
You too
