The bright side is blinding our eyes And the sound keeps ringin', ringin' The bright side is just a white lie That the crowd keeps singin', singin' You are a busy bee You are a busy bee

Sunshine, sitting on a pavement crack Everyone was staring back But you didn't mind Sunshine, futile were our defenses Backwards ran your sentences Until reeled the mind

Next what's fear And silence in Wait just all we'll then Upside-down everything Turning done you're when

The bright side is blinding our eyes And the sound keeps ringin', ringin' The bright side is just a white lie That the crowd keeps singin', singin' You are a busy bee You are a busy bee

Back then, fighting with the permanent Pushing through the sediment Till we lost the trail Back then, those days felt like house arrest Half-awake and self-possessed We thought we'd prevail

Among the rain And lights I saw The figure "5" in gold On a red firetruck That's what I was told

The bright side is blinding our eyes And the sound keeps ringin', ringin' The bright side is just a white lie That the crowd keeps singin', singin'

The bright side is blinding our eyes And the sound keeps ringin', ringin'
