did you ever have one of these days
when you love the town you live in
and that which doubles for the devil

is only powder in the big wind
did you ever have one of these lives
like you lived around here forever

and the blue marble girl
even has trouble with her own spin


{chorus}
blue marble girl
shoves the day into the night

and a red cap boy
making his way till he blows it right


?now blow it right
?blow it right
a little more right


did you ever have one of these nights
strung out like a string of cracked Christmas lights

and the light that needs your juice
is the same fuse you have got to refuse


{chorus}

if it's all the same

is she better off to blame
anyone
except what slipped on

through her own hands
