Virginia Lyrics - Singles - Matt Caplan

Virginia 

Matt Caplan 

She said she was a visionary 

We all knew she was quite full of herself 

And we cast our shadows on the floor 

We expected her decision hours ago 

And now she's left alone to ask herself 

What Virginia has to offer her 

Well, we've got faded lives and color television 

And he said he was a father figure 

We all knew that he was quite the opposite of strength 

And we cast our shadows on the floor 

We expected him to be hours ago 

And now he's left alone to ask himself 

What Virginia has to offer him 

Well, we've got faded lives and color television 

We are unclean and far from sober 

All my life I've followed holy visions 

Virginia makes me nervous 

Oh, and now I'm thinking about rain again 

And I'm trying to remember when 

We were young enough 

To fight the fever back with love 

But now how am I gonna fight it back 

When they're bringing me under 

So grey on the city that'll lead the play 

And their consequences 

Bring the fever back again 

How am I gonna bring it back 

When it (rams) me asunder 

Bring the past up to par 

He says leave me there to follow 

Set me up, set me straight 

Virginia far too stale to swallow 

Well, we've got faded lives and color television 

We are unclean and far from sober 

All my life I've followed holy visions 

Virginia makes me nervous 

Faded lives and color television
