lirik lagu opposite’s true (live at the 40 watt) – vigilantes of love
[spoken intro]
this song is called “the opposite’s true.”
[verse 1]
lo, these odd years, when reviewed, i constantly find
when i’m reaching for the light, the darkness is so close behind
and you might think we’ve learned a thing or two about playing it cool
well, you might think that that is so, ah, but no, no, the opposite’s true
[verse 2]
you might think in the storm we’ve discovered the eye of the calm
but i’ve yet to find a way to dodge all these sweaty little palms
sure, i’ve made some enemies, but i just–i can’t recall who
you might think it keeps us up at night, but no, no, the opposite’s true
[verse 3]
are there any words of wisdom i’ve picked up along the way?
why, yes: death usually comes dressed up in her finery and lace
hey, hasn’t everyone in these bars been crying inside their whole life through?
well, you might think we’ve ceased to hear it, ah, but no, no, the opposite’s true
[harmonica solo]
[mandolin solo]
[verse 4]
the kings and queens, they’re bankrupt here at the mouth of the nile
they say the pyramids, they’re all looted, pharaoh won’t be back for a while
crocodiles, they’re hungry, see ’em polish their tie-pins with care
i used to understand the language, but now i’m just unaware
[verse 5]
used to install fire alarms before i ever started to sing
and after all these years, i find i’ve been doing the same thing
everyone stop! check your pulse, never mind, it’s code blue
well, you might think we’d call the doctor, but no
you might think we’d call the doctor, but no
yeah, you might think we’d call the doctor, but no, no, the opposite’s true
oh yes, the opposite’s true
[harmonica solo]
[spoken outro]
thank you.
