lyrics

Sun come in, what you bring,
Chirping things and other live sights
There in nature with restless types
Can't see them with my glasses on
It takes me too long

Red cape mates, blank chalk slates
Let's be true here
Boy child in the hallway mirror
Seems so small
Was that a late bloomers tear? No

Staged Fright
Veiled delight
She knows
It shows

Uptight
Contrite
Feel Flows
Behind the mask

Taking a breath of hot air
Summer sun with a collapsible tent
And the ferris wheel spins in the air real slow
Let's go! No....let's stay here

Sun come in, what you bring, chirping things
And other live sights
They're in nature with restless types
Can't see them with my glasses on
It takes me so long

Old room mates know these traits
I'll be true to you here
The capsule in the bathroom mirror
Was so small
Was that a late bloomer's fear? no

Staged fright
Veiled delight
She knows
She's right

Uptight
Contrite
Feel flows
behind the mask tonight
