Bright bulbs and sharp tools lyrics - Fair To Midland song

He fights like hell
Because he wants to glow
And would tackle the sun
To be a bright bulb
I wonder if he'll wake us up in time

[Chorus]
He's strained
And has to hide somewhere between black and white
He's insane
But never was brave before it's over
I hope he takes you too

They say attack can be the best defense
And I've got my loose smile, both my Dad's fists
If John Doe escapes carry his name and when it's time to sign
Ask where, not why

And it makes
My blood boil
Those black letter days all the mail just winds up lost

[Chorus]
He's strained
And has to hide somewhere between black and white
He's insane
But never was brave before it's over
I hope he takes you too
