Why was I born without a storm to weather?
Why was I born into a place where I could see the sun?
Why do the blues seem a greener pasture?
Why is this state such a seasonless one?
Sadness looks better with gray skies and sweaters
The California sun just doesn't match
Can't look so blue with those Berkeleyan hues
Oh
I wish I were sad
Sad in the Midwest
Cue the applause from the one hand clapping
What is the sound of a scene kid crying all alone?
Signal the sound of the left shoe dropping
Where is the fruit of the seeds that I've sewn?
Dance halls are all full in states where the corn grows
The Oklahoma air just breeds despair
Can't sing the blues with these golden gate views
I wish I were sad
Sad in the Midwest
So
Sleeping in storm clouds gets old
Waking at midnight beholding
The light of the
Funeral moon
You have entombed
The dance halls look better
With gray skies and sweaters
The California air don't breed despair
Can't look so blue with these golden gate views
Why can't
I be
Sad
Sad in the Midwest?
