lyrics

there's a rainbow in the gutter and another in the sky
one is made up of the muck, the other of the light
reflected on a spectrum through a recent rainy sky
while the mucky one is coming from the oil running dry
its exhausting from the pipes between the tires by the bumpers
on the backs of all the cars I've seen driving toward the stickers
stuck upon a stop sign sitting at the edge of the block, I'm sitting here
singing about anything to keep myself
to keep myself from thinkin' about you

thinkin' about you
babe, what can i do

there's a fibonacci sequence that i've heard about but don't know why I thought about
just now I looked it up and found its basically a pattern based on adding up the numbers
as they come they just get bigger
if you draw it out on paper it begins to make a spiral that keeps spinning down and spinning down forever
and that's just about as long as i thought we would be together
no I didn't mean to do those things I did to hurt ya now I'm sad
and singing about anything to keep myself
keep myself from thinkin' about you

thinkin' about you
babe, what can i do

there's a feeling you can draw upon its easy if you set a little time aside
eventually a seed will start to growing into something that you'd never have expected to believe in
till you're falling deeper into something that you've never seen
full of sugarplums and turtle doves and every other nickname anybody's ever used to call somebody that they've been without and realized that it's useless to resist the force of gravity cause nothing falls forever and there's nothing left to sing about and nothing I could ever do to keep myself
to keep myself from thinkin; about you

thinkin' about you
babe, what can I do
