Vasoline
by Roger Brainard

Album: Red Green Blue


Put it in a box, tie it with a string,
this is not the point, it doesn't mean a thing
No one in this room knows the things you do,
you only feel alone because you know the truth

A little crack in the condition here,
but you don't really mind the pain
You only came outside to watch it rain

Clowns without a smile, clowns without balloons, dressed in current style carrying harpoons
They will use it up, they will burn it down,
ashes in the air floating all around

All the hero's went to hollywood
and all the poets went to jail
video of street panhandler with sign

And here you are somewhere east of hell

Everyone agrees on the basic needs, more is always best, just take it from the rest
That will never change don't pretend it's fair, it's ok with me cause I don't really care

The sun is always shining somewhere else,
the sun is always on the rise
But every now and then I wonder why

A perfect paradigm, a perfect paranoid,
why did you insist, what did you avoid
You can't really fly but you thought you could, diamonds in the ruff watchers in the wood

I can't remember all the things I said,
that's a blessing and a curse
I forgot myself but remembering would be worse

Swim in vasoline, I know what you mean,
this is really tough, life is hard enough
You and me survive
we are strong enough
we will stay alive
and call the devil's bluff

You can't redeem your tokens anyway
and no one has the guts to say
You only keep the things you give away
