Must've been about a year ago The sun was setting in the East I was living down in Mexico Staring out my window I guess I'm settling in… Cars goin' by, people getting' high Grinnin' that silly-ass grin There's not much you can do… When you got them Bright and Shiny Blues… Shine your light in my eyes And tell me where you think I've been You can't tell nothing about me From the color of my skin Check the clock on the wall It's later than it's ever been Won't see me next Sunday I'm living' the original sin There's not much you can do… When you got them Bright and Shiny Blues… You look so confused Is there a message that you're trying to send? Do you want to leave right now Or wait till the party ends You can come back home with me I've got a lotta stories to tell… About smoking guns, bastard sons And living in cheap motels There's not much you can do… When you got them Bright and Shiny Blues… There's not much you can do… When you got them Bright and Shiny Blues…
