lyrics

my 3 y/o nephew's favorite song is a song he wrote called, "Sometimes I'm Strawberry. Sometimes I'm Blue." I stole the name of this song from a 3 y/o.

My brains have painted the front porch steps for years and years
They match the red lights of the mailboxes and dirt for worms to live in
And I'm tasteless as the friends I never talk to anymore
Or maybe they don't talk to me cuz I'm a selfish bore
My fingers are taped together and I'm walking with a limp
I spit out rainbows from crooked teeth, sonnet from my busted lips
And these bugs crawl around in circles seconds from beneath my shoes
It's funny what we have in common,
It's funny how we both were born to lose
It's funny what we have in common
It's funny how we both were born to lose

Strangers tell me better news than I've ever heard in my life
What a peaceful centerpiece on the cluttered table of my mind
What a thoughtful fucking punchline,
I'm the joke you'll never get
Follow me, oh green messiah
Follow me to hospital beds
This isn't what I've whispered from this peak before, as I never am
I used to be a painting, remembered frames,
Fiddle between ghostly hands
Now I'm self righteous and self important
Self induced insomniac
Watch me cry a fucking river
Watch my guts spill from my laugh
Watch me cry a fucking river
Watch me have a heart attack
I've never cried a fucking river
And I'll survive this one I guess

And I've been foaming from my yellow tongue
Both bothersome and bold
I've spun angels made of featherweight and dustbowls made of gold
A thoughtful anecdote, a pity, and my fathers son am I
It's funny how that could the last thought on my mind before I die
It's funny how that could be the last thought on my mind before I die

It's funny what we have in common
It's funny how we're both born to lose.
