Back on the Shelf Songtext
von Bitter Luck

I know
That I′ve been down
Too low
I've been headed south

But everybody wants to ask me why, they say
I don′t seem like myself
Cause waking up I get the feeling like
I should be put back on the shelf

Cause the sun doesn't shine like it used to, no, no
And all the birds sing out of tune
And my dancing days feel numbered
Lord I can't shake this blue

No glow
In the dead of night
Is it so
There′s no end in sight


But everybody wants to sell me their cure-all
For how to save myself
But nothing seems to shake the feeling like
I should be put back on the shelf

Cause the sun doesn′t shine like it used to, no, no
And all the birds sing out of tune
And my dancing days feel numbered
Lord I can't shake these blues

I′m down and I'm out, I do the boogie
Now, I′m down and I'm out, I do the boogie
Now, I′m down and I'm out, I do the boogie
Now, I'm down and I′m out, so, so, so down
So down
I′m down
So, so, so, so, so down

And so
Gonna let it lie
Let go
Take it all in stride

Cause everybody's got to find their means, it seems
You′ve got to make yourself
We're always looking for a better way
To not be put back on the shelf


But you know,
Cause the sun doesn′t shine like it used to, no, no
And all the birds sing out of tune
And my dancing days feel numbered
Lord I can't shake these blues

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, can′t shake these blues
Every day, every day, every day, day, day, day
Yeah just lookin' for sunshine
Oh just need sunshine, no, no, no, no, no
Yeah always get these blues, no, no, no, no, no
Aye-eeeee yeah
Just looking for something more than nothin'
Can it be, yeah
Just give me something, something, something
Oh something to take these blues, yeah
Just need something, something, no, no, no, no, no, no
