Alphabet Lyrics - It's The Ones Who've Cracked That The Light Shines Through - Jeffrey Lewis

Late at night cloudy light will creep over my old house 

And the chair, where I once sat, someone new is there, 

And he'll stare at that wall, and we're all 

Parts of an alphabet 

Spell new words in new spots we're at 

And the big blue boat drifts around in the dark 

When you feel like a jerk does it make you confused? 

Like how could you become as awesome as you are and still feel like a loser? 

When you feel ugly and petty 

All quirked and unsteady 

Just try not to forget there's so many people who've liked you 

I hope that the art school enjoys your big drawing of ruins 

We've all got good things to do and it's good when we do them 

From Austin to Brooklyn 

They're all smart and good lookin' 

We're all parts of an alphabet 

Spell new words with new folks we met 

And the big blue boat drifts around in the dark 

And the big blue boat drifts around in the dark 

And they say that we'll drift for a while 

'Till we die and the sun it's a spiral it's a combination lock 

And I'm just hoping that I'll get it all in 

And that these joys and frustrations are just turns in the combination
