Silver Lining Lyrics - Steve Poltz

Muffin's in the toaster 

I got my raspberry jam 

My grandpa was a sailor 

And he came into this land 

And he was looking for gold 

A pretty hand to hold 

Or some cards to fold 

At least that's what I've been told 

Silver lining 

Silver lining where'd you go? 

I turn on my TV 

They got talking heads in space 

It used to be so easy 

To have a little faith 

I used to rely on luck 

To earn a honest buck 

I didn't feel so stuck 

I didn't limp around like John Kruk 

Silver lining 

Silver lining where'd you go? 

I used to have hope 

Now we got soap on a rope 

We used to have dreams 

Now we got overpaid baseball teams 

We got grocery baggers 

Graffiti taggers 

Golf ball shaggers 

Go, team, go 

Silver lining 

Silver lining where'd you go? 

The landlord knocks upon my door 

And she's got that payday face 

I swear to God she should be paying me 

To live inside this place 

It's filled with sharks and fins 

With double chins 

Who say, "Thicken your skin, child 

If you wanna win" 

Silver lining 

Silver lining where'd you go? 

I fix myself some herbal tea 

'Cause it's healthier they say 

But healthier ain't half as fun 

I'll take a cold beer any day 

I used to have dysfunctional fun 

In the cancerous sun 

With my co-dependent hon 

Eating greasy, greasy hot dogs on a buttered up bun 

Silver lining 

Silver lining where'd you go? 

Silver lining 

Silver lining where'd you go?
