Bright Bulbs & Sharp Tools - Fair To Midland

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
