Now heaven knows I got one short damn fuse So come sit down a spell while I light up the room If walls could talk, they'd know it all So we live in the sticks And aren't some fish you cancatch
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 between black and white It's safe but never was brave before it's over I hope he takes you too You too
They say attack can be your best defense And I got mother's smile and 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 the mail just winds up lost
[Chorus:] He's gray And has to hide somewhere between black and white 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 Every spring I hear them sing I hear them sing Every spring I hear them sing
He's going down He's going under the ground I hope he takes you too You too
