Seething Blues Lyrics

If you remember something

Peaceful from your childhood

Put it on your gratitude list

You can't spend your life

Strolling by the seaside

Slipping past every new twist

You remember saving pennies

For your birthday

Saving up to buy your own gift

Your daddy never could

Remember it anyway

At least he taught you how to thrift

The world blew open like a zealot's dream

Now everybody's gawking at you

We'll all watch it on the Silver Screen

Your seething blues

You took the pills until

they changed your whole attitude

To something better than dread

You wore that anger

Like a carbon-black pant suit

Went to school in your head

You keep your secrets

In a dusty old shoe box

Stored deep under your bed

You've never been the one

That's prone to talk

Keeping track of what's said

If you remember something

Peaceful from your childhood

Put it on your gratitude list

You can't spend your life

Strolling by the seaside

Slipping past every new twist

You don't have to save pennies

For your birthday

You don't have to live out like a tramp

Remember you're the one

Who took that sh.. everyday

Give yourself a little chance
