Fluorescein

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Wipe away the summer air You don't wanna see That's you in that photograph from 1973 And you don't even know me [Chorus] God only knows I wanna be The other side of misery Gimme a plate of fluorescein I'm gonna paint an ugly scene All of the things I wanna say Can't get a word out anyway Falling away after today Nothing to lose so come what may Don't wake me [Verse 2] You got away from me somehow And all we tried to be Everything is different now The mind's eye fails to see And all we know is TV [Chorus] God only knows I wanna be The other side of misery Gimme a plate of Fluorescein I'm gonna paint an ugly scene All of the things I wanna say Can't get a word out anyway Falling away after today Nothing to lose so come what may Don't wake me Don't wake me Don't wake me [Bridge] Inside, I rise above this shallow world Inside, I rise above this shallow world [Chorus] God only knows I wanna be The other side of misery Falling away after today Nothing to lose so come what may (God only knows I wanna be) Don't wake me (The other side of misery) Don't wake me (Gimme a plate of fluorescein) Don't wake me (I'm gonna paint an ugly scene) [Outro] God only knows I wanna be The other side of misery Gimme a plate of fluorescein I'm gonna paint an ugly scene
