I can take the skin of a kiwi
But I still don't like 'em sour
Baby you been doin' me
More wrong by the hour
Hangin' from the powerline
By the laces of your shoes
How'd you expect to stay alive
With your head caught in the current of the blues?
Get over your gravel road
Turn it into cobblestone
Quit watchin' all that white noise
And tune in to the radio
You're barefoot on a rose bush
And bleedin' on your chains
Biting it won't get you free
With your eyes shut on the smoke of playing games
'Cuz you've let the blues become your ruse
It tricks you to think you've got nothing to lose
I turn over the dirt and you get all hurt
Just admit that you're painting a lie
Bash in the hideaway
Adjust to the light of day
Stop seeing your reflection
And thinking that your heart's okay
Chewing through the cable chords
Stepping over all the traps
Don't you know you're caught in one
And you're stuck in the maze running laps?
'Cuz you've let the blues become your ruse
It tricks you to think you've got nothing to lose
I turn over the dirt and you get all hurt
Just admit that you're painting a lie
Bash in the hideaway
Adjust to the light of day
Stop seeing your reflection
And thinking that your heart's okay
Hangin' from the powerline
By the laces of your shoes
How'd you expect to stay alive
With your head caught in the current of the blues?
