What's the bright idea?
Relationship gone awry, what's the bright idea?
Bright Idea by Chris Jones
What’s the bright idea?
Taunting my reply
Floating so high
So long, so fair,
Measly piece of hair
What angel left you there?
Behind the faces lies a clown
It lifts me up and brings me down
I couldn’t fall asleep, but…
No one is really happy but they smile anyway
What’s the bright idea,
Imaginary friend?
Emaciated…
While the stars burn bright,
Tie the harness tight
Or she’ll wander off
What’s to keep you from
Ever letting go
Of the long-drawn bow?
Friends forget to call;
And if they call at all,
It’s not you they want.
Behind the faces lies a clown
It lifts me up and brings me down
I couldn’t fall asleep, but…
No one is really happy but there’s a soul beneath the surface
