Praise The Day Lyrics

Flashlight Brown Praise The Day

Lost my cool at a brand new school     
Where the kids all smelt kind of strange        
And I threw my chair when I caught the teacher's glare
As she called me little Mary-Jane

All the ribbing that I god-damn took 
From the kids left my ego in a whirl 
And the kids would say while I sat and watched them play 
Hey there kid are you a boy are a girl 
             
Praise the day I'm old and grey 
And don't look much like a girl 
And the kids all come and dance in the streets 
Proclaiming me the king of the world 

Figured it'd be fine when I hit grade nine 
And I'd grow a big beard really soon 
Till the first day of gym when I met father tim 
And he sent me to the girl's change room 
               
Illustrate my weekly pass come across as feeling crass
Submit for credit or just share your thoughts
Search my archive for a joke a thousand drives and beers and hopes
Look out god I'm gonna die

My black candle won't stop smoking even though I blew it out
My stigmata are signs of disease
Reputation as the finest burnt your bridges to be sane
Look out god I'm gonna die

Now in the end I will surely transcend 
All the things I was never meant to be 
So with some skill and a little good will 
Out on ladies night I'll get in bars for free
