greg brown - whatever it was lyrics
she’s got a slant 6 mind and a supercharged heart,
the little princess is singing about her parts,
she says, “come hither”, but when i get hither she is yon.
i was looking for what i loved. whatever it was, it’s gone.
tv spreads and tension mounts,
like a guy in a bra it’s the idea that counts,
it’s a picture of a picture of a wh-r- holding a picture of a john.
i was looking for what i loved…
in the chemical fields by ammonia light,
i would offer my prayer to the corn goddess tonight,
but they chopped off her head and stuck her body out on the lawn.
i was looking for what i loved…
my generation takes what it can get,
are you surprised that the kids are all upset?
they’re looking at nothing and nothing turns away and yawns.
i was looking for what i loved…
can’t go to the country – the country isn’t there,
it got chopped up and mortgaged and vanished in thin air,
it’s a paint-by-number and it costs a million bucks down at the p-wn.
i was looking for what i loved…
an electronic head and feet of clay,
gonna be a lotta roadkill on the information highway,
someone stole the video of the everfresh and lovely dawn.
i was looking for what i loved…
you might be streetwise. you might be real bad,
i guess you forgot that you also are a dad,
your kids won’t forget it when they’re trying to find someone to lean on
i was looking for what i loved…
the little towns are lying on their faces,
all that’s left are fading parking sp-ces,
it’s been quite a week, there was a drive-by shooting in lake wobegon.
i was looking for what i loved…
a native american told me this whole deal’s a mistake,
and this implosion is just icing on the cake,
if the great spirit is gambling, i’d say the con is a bigger con.
i was looking for what i loved…
