Reasonable Man Lyrics - Brightly Painted One - Tiny Ruins

I went in search of a 

Reasonable man 

The one I read about in books 

And I drew me up a plan 

I said "I'd like to meet him on a corner if I can" 

And then we could take either road 

depending upon where we stand 

I went in search of a 

Reasonable man 

And I thought "Ooh it must be lonely 

to be the only voice of reason" 

the sky went so rosy 

now I hear a rumbling sound 

In silence drinking coffee 

for a reasonable time 

he said "you're looking pretty" 

and I said "you're looking at your prime" 

contender for the future 

will you be mine 

but his straight-laced face 

it all folded up 

and he took that "it's not so simple" line 

I went in search of a 

Reasonable man 

And I thought "Ooh it must be lonely 

to be the only voice of reason" 

the sky went so rosy 

now my world is crumbling down 

we need more reasonable men 

and I said oooh you're selling us short 

reasonable man 

and I said ooh where's your heart, reasonable man 

cause when I look on that star 

will you go reasonable man 

when the going gets tough 

will you go reasonable man 

and when the going gets tough 

will you go reasonable man
