Virginia - Matt Caplan

She said she was a visionary 
We all knew she was quite full of herself 
And we cast our shadows on the floor 
We expected her decision hours ago 
And now she's left alone to ask herself 
What Virginia has to offer her 
Well, we've got faded lives and color television 

And he said he was a father figure 
We all knew that he was quite the opposite of strength 
And we cast our shadows on the floor 
We expected him to be hours ago 
And now he's left alone to ask himself 
What Virginia has to offer him 
Well, we've got faded lives and color television 

We are unclean and far from sober 
All my life I've followed holy visions 
Virginia makes me nervous 

Oh, and now I'm thinking about rain again 
And I'm trying to remember when 
We were young enough 
To fight the fever back with love 
But now how am I gonna fight it back 
When they're bringing me under 
So grey on the city that'll lead the play 

And their consequences 
Bring the fever back again 
How am I gonna bring it back 
When it (rams) me asunder 
Bring the past up to par 
He says leave me there to follow 
Set me up, set me straight 
Virginia far too stale to swallow 
Well, we've got faded lives and color television 

We are unclean and far from sober 
All my life I've followed holy visions 
Virginia makes me nervous 
Faded lives and color television
