The Bright Side - They Might Be Giants

The bright side is blinding our eyes

And the sound keeps ringin', ringin'

The bright side is just a white lie

That the crowd keeps singin', singin'

You are a busy bee

You are a busy bee

Sunshine, sitting on a pavement crack

Everyone was staring back

But you didn’t mind

Sunshine, futile were our defenses

Backwards ran your sentences

Until reeled the mind

Next what’s fear

And silence in

Wait just all we’ll then

Upside-down everything

Turning done you’re when

The bright side is blinding our eyes

And the sound keeps ringin', ringin'

The bright side is just a white lie

That the crowd keeps singin', singin'

You are a busy bee

You are a busy bee

Back then, fighting with the permanent

Pushing through the sediment

Till we lost the trail

Back then, those days felt like house arrest

Half-awake and self-possessed

We thought we’d prevail

Among the rain

And lights I saw

The figure «5» in gold

On a red firetruck

That’s what I was told

The bright side is blinding our eyes

And the sound keeps ringin', ringin'

The bright side is just a white lie

That the crowd keeps singin', singin'

The bright side is blinding our eyes

And the sound keeps ringin', ringin'
