Wasting Daylight (Mono)
Well he was tough as nails
With a hard part on the left
Was a deacon for a minute outside of New Orleans
He worked on the rails
Then in an office behind a desk
Cut his hair for the navy when he was 18
They made him in color but he'd rather stay black & white
He'd say kick off the covers old boy you're just wasting daylight
In a grey pinstripe suit
Big black belt
Consort for men kept his hair all in place
Quiet or convolute
Pearly gates or fiery hell
When he was 14 some kid threw a brick right at his face
They made him in color but he'd rather stay black & white
He'd say kick off the covers old boy you're just wasting daylight
They made him in color but he'd rather stay black & white
He'd say kick off the covers old boy you're just wasting daylight
Thought he'd start over round 40 years old
And then one more time right before 50
So he got a new clan on the family plan
Hauling concrete and trucks for the city
They made him in color but he'd rather stay black & white
So kick off the covers old boy
They made him in color but he'd rather stay black & white
He'd say kick off the covers old boy you're just wasting daylight
With a white collar head
And lucky strike red
It was the love of a woman that got him in the end
With a hard part on the left
Was a deacon for a minute outside of New Orleans
He worked on the rails
Then in an office behind a desk
Cut his hair for the navy when he was 18
They made him in color but he'd rather stay black & white
He'd say kick off the covers old boy you're just wasting daylight
In a grey pinstripe suit
Big black belt
Consort for men kept his hair all in place
Quiet or convolute
Pearly gates or fiery hell
When he was 14 some kid threw a brick right at his face
They made him in color but he'd rather stay black & white
He'd say kick off the covers old boy you're just wasting daylight
They made him in color but he'd rather stay black & white
He'd say kick off the covers old boy you're just wasting daylight
Thought he'd start over round 40 years old
And then one more time right before 50
So he got a new clan on the family plan
Hauling concrete and trucks for the city
They made him in color but he'd rather stay black & white
So kick off the covers old boy
They made him in color but he'd rather stay black & white
He'd say kick off the covers old boy you're just wasting daylight
With a white collar head
And lucky strike red
It was the love of a woman that got him in the end
