i was born by an old streetlight

where the men lean out of

their windows at night

and i was a lead in the orphan choir,

and i sang with all my might

until i grew up

too high then oh,


all the notes i used to play

on the double bass in the b-list ballet

with only the night bugs to lead me home

with their sad-luck serenade


the rain was never ending,

the sadness in my heart

would light and glow in the dark


oh this will never change,

time just wears a prettier face

i'm book smart, street stupid


so don't look for me in confession booth,

i'm with my paints and my pens

and my dry vermouth

trying to uncover

some small truth

with these cards close to my chest


the rain was never ending

the sadness in my heart

would light and glow in the dark


oh, this will never change

time just wears a prettier face

i'm book smart, street stupid


the rain still never ending

the wonder in my heart

would light and glow in

it still lights and glows in the dark
