A Better Shade of Blue

from On the Spectrum by Mayhem Lettuce

/

about

Grahm became a father in December of 2001. This song expresses some of his various anxieties at that time.

lyrics

Are my eyes soft enough to cushion her fall?
Can I give her the world she deserves?
Are my arms strong enough to keep her inside?
Will she grow up to save the world?

Can I paint the world a better shade of blue?
(To match her eyes)
Can I paint the sea a deeper shade of green?
(To match her name)

I will try for you
I will cry for you
I will try for you
I would die for you

Can I paint the world a better shade of blue?
(To match her eyes)
Can I paint the clouds a nicer shade of white?
(To match her smile)

I will try for you
I will cry for you
I will try for you
I would die for you

I can only promise to be the best Dad I can be.
I don't know how good a Dad that is yet
but I think we'll be okay.

about

Mayhem Lettuce Port Byron, Illinois

Mayhem Lettuce was formed in Port Byron, IL in 1993 when two sad teenage boys decided to channel their angst into music.
That music sits at the crossroads of King Missile and Portishead with a dash of The Cure and a pinch of They Might Be Giants.
