Say it simply stupid ‘cause yer
Drowning in recourse of all those
Million dollar fiddles you threw away
And rid those million dollar sobs
They’re drowning in your throat because
You’re worried she might let you walk away
So spend today in manic for me please
They’ll like you better for it and maybe it’s what you need
So when you orchestrate yer sadness
The blues never suited you anyway
I met you in the late fall dear
Your jarring laugh rung ear to ear like
Every rose who think’s she’ll make the thaw
And I took you then for granted ‘cause the worst
Of egos and that was
After the fall the worst bruise I ever saw
So spend today in manic for me please
They’ll like you better for it and maybe it’s what you need
So when you orchestrate yer sadness
The blues never suited you anyway
