SILVER LININGS
(Alenskis, Barlow, Hash, Lillis © 2020)

Living life under a cloud
Is this my fate for crying out loud
In technicolor whatever I do
My favorite colors end up black and blue
I can’t be happy when I’m on top
Waiting for the other shoe to drop
Am I bi-polar, or something else? Somebody said I was beside myself
All my silver linings are shining today
All my silver linings are grey
Ohhh!

That and this, and thus and such
Time came around, I missed the bus
The perfect moment - living top drawer!
My 15 minutes hit the cutting room floor
A day late, a dollar short
Sitting in judgement in a kangaroo court
Before the mic, nothing to say
Under the spotlight I turn away
All my silver linings are shining today
All my silver linings are grey - are grey - are grey
I need to be sad to be happy
I can’t be happy unless I’m sad
I need to be sad to be happy
I can’t be happy, no, unless I’m sad

Look out! I’m looking in
From the outside of my own skin
Invisible, out loud - by myself there in a crowd
Odds on, you must agree
Can’t be about you when it’s all about me
So exhausting, the same refrain
I’m only vindicated when I complain
All my silver linings are shining today
All my silver linings are grey

All my silver linings are shining today
All my silver linings are grey
All my silver linings are shining today
All my silver linings are grey - are grey - are grey
