Nitrogen Pink

Nitrogen Pink and a whole load of Wednesdays
They're these sweet rotting memories that keep you alive
Nitrogen Pink, please throw me a moment
Just to get my composure and to stamp on a fly

And the boys had their pearl and the girls had tobacco
And everybody was laughing at you
Singing isn't it, isn't it, isn't it
Such a funny old world the way tragedy strikes?

Nitrogen Pink and a whole load of Wednesdays
They're these sweet rotting memories that keep you alive
Nitrogen Pink, please throw me a moment
Just to get my composure and to stamp on a fly

And the blind man was seeing clouds all grey
Until the weather man blew his rain away
And nobody, nobody, nobody make a sound

Nitrogen Pink and a pill for my breakfast
And a bag full of ketchup that he spilt on his tie
Nitrogen Pink for the unwritten bible
About this mad mad time survival till he kicked it up in the flames

And all the education, Daddy, it never paid
Because the fat man, he took my innocence away
And I thought and I thought and I thought
You said these streets were paved with gold

Nitrogen Pink for the real Captain Redbeard
For the unlikely pianist, the sad, and the gay
Nitrogen Pink for the man in the corner
For the pig in the slaughterhouse, the sweet melody

Played slot machines, got so rich, then we lost it
Found a hole in my pocket, crack a smile and we're ok
That long drive home, nothing much ever after
Nothing hurts me more than laughter
Man, I wish you could be here

Nitrogen Pink and a whole load of Wednesdays
They're these sweet rotting memories that keep you alive
Nitrogen Pink, please throw me a moment
Just to get my composure and to wave you goodbye
