Lyrics
Fluorescent
(Lyrics: J Jamieson Music: J Stos)
Please don?t look my way I?ve had it hard for some time now
My hands are so God damn cold am I really that forgotten
This grimy restaurant door way keeps me sheltered from the wind and I really don?t fit the dress code so they?ll never let me in
Here I sit with my torn old coat I got my hands between my knees with my little cardboard billboard ?Can you spare a little change??
Maybe I?ll move up in the world or stay free like the wind I wish I could think of somewhere to go where my mind has never been
I must be fluorescent they turn and quickly look away I?m the brightest thing they?ve ever seen I even shine brightly in the day
Sometimes they toss their money and miss my little tin can I must be fluorescent fluorescent I guess I am
It?s time to get up and move now I?ve counted every brick in the wall but I?m a freelancing pan handler I gotta handle on it all
