Brand New Ray

A chair in the corner of the room
Makes the world look awful gloomy
The girls you expected to swoon
Think of you as silly puddy

refrain: What are you trying to say
Telling me to go away
Go to the temple and pray
Even though you know that's not the way

Don't hurt me that way
I'll get you back some sunny day
What do you expect me to say
I shoot myself the first of May

refrain: Well, you're wrong
You'll never hear me sing that song
You just better get out of the way
'Cause me and my mind are here to stay

So get out of the way (get out of the way)
I'm not the way you are today
You think you know what to say
Then there I am, a brand new ray of logic

And you knew you were wrong all the time
But your ego stopped you, isn't it a crime?
When the time comes
from me you won't get a dime 

refrain: What else is there to say
What else is there to say
What else is there to say
'Cause here I am, a brand new ray
A brand new ray of logic

And you knew you were wrong
And I knew you were wrong
Logic, logic, a new way of living
A brand new ray of logic...(fade)
