Bright Ideas
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I thought I found the channel but it got choked off
Thought I found the channel but the channel got choked off
Thought I found the channel, it was just a shallow trough
I'll put my bright ideas right back in the box
I thought I found the panel but the switches broke off
Thought I found the panel but the switches were broken off
I sanded down my edges but the world plays rough
I put my bright ideas right back in the box
Every step I take is part of my path
But none of my jokes ever make me laugh
Sometimes you wanna put the past in the past
But every generation gets bit in the ass...
I kept the same dirty frame but I got new glass
I kept the same dirty frame but I got new glass
It brought the future into focus, it was easy, ugly and crass
I'll put my bright ideas right back in my ass
I pull my head out the pillow and stare at the clock
when you're expecting the worst
you know you never get shocked
I wanna crush this feeling, wanna climb out of this box
Today I'm gonna push back yeah I'm not gonna stop
Every step I take is part of my path
But none of my jokes ever make me laugh
Sometimes you wanna put the past in the past
But every generation gets bit in the ass...
