Mustâve been about a year agoThe sun was setting in the EastI was living down in MexicoStaring out my windowI guess Iâm settling inâ¦Cars goinâ by, people gettingâ highGrinninâ that silly-ass grinThereâs not much you can doâ¦When you got them Bright and Shiny Bluesâ¦Shine your light in my eyesAnd tell me where you think Iâve beenYou canât tell nothing about meFrom the color of my skinCheck the clock on the wallItâs later than itâs ever beenWonât see me next SundayIâm livingâ the original sinThereâs not much you can doâ¦When you got them Bright and Shiny Bluesâ¦You look so confusedIs there a message that youâre trying to send?Do you want to leave right nowOr wait till the party endsYou can come back home with meIâve got a lotta stories to tellâ¦About smoking guns, bastard sonsAnd living in cheap motelsThereâs not much you can doâ¦When you got them Bright and Shiny Bluesâ¦Thereâs not much you can doâ¦When you got them Bright and Shiny Bluesâ¦
