todd snider - sunshine (live) lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
wait ’til it comes around, haha

[verse 1]
standing on out on the
edge of the building
i’m watching the traffic below
drinking a beer
thinking of jumping
not far from ready to go

[verse 2]
below me the crowd
slowly gathers around
cops cars with news cameras too
i can’t get out
of this pain that i’m in
i don’t know what else to do

[verse 3]
sometimes i feel like
i’m so uninvited
like something so out of touch
they tell me depression
runs in our family
that doesn’t help me much

[verse 4]
crowd’s yelling “jump”
over a cop on a bullhorn
it’s making him kinda hard to hear
he’s yelling something about
having so much to live for
i’m almost through with this beer

(whistling)

[verse 5]
squinting my eyes to
see through the sunlight
this crowd’s even bigger now
there’s no point in wondering
what afterlife’s like
it don’t matter anyhow

[verse 6]
we’re already in h-ll
as far as i can tell
just listen to these people scream
this feels like a rally
in a high school field house
i feel like the captain of a team
well, here goes the captain of your team

(whistling)

[verse 7]
follow the light to
the garden of eden
stand at the pearly gate
saint peter comes over
puts his hand on my shoulder
he’s tellin’ that me i gotta wait

[chorus]
he says, “you know you can’t k!ll yourself
“and still expect to come in here, kid
“but you look like a victim of circ-mstance
“so i’m just gonna break
“every bone in your body
“and give you another chance”

[verse 8]
wakin’ up slowly
looking around me
a lonely recovery room
closing my eyes
i can see a new sunrise
over acres of flowers in bloom

[verse 9]
i don’t know when it will be
but the next time you see me
i’ll be tappin’ to a whole new beat
walking soles [/souls?] into
the holes of my shoes
down the sunny side of some street
sunshine

(whistling)

[outro]
i can’t get no satisfaction
i can’t get no girl reaction
i try, i try
i try and i try
i can’t get no
no no no
