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
He's insane
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
He's insane
But never was brave before it's over
I hope he takes you too
You too

Lost in whispers in the winter
Temper doesn't last
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
You too
You
