did you ever have one of these days 
when you love the town you live in 
and that which doubles for the devil 
is only powder in the big wind 
did you ever have one of these lives 
like you lived around here forever 
and the blue marble girl 
even has trouble with her own spin 

{chorus} 
blue marble girl 
shoves the day into the night 
and a red cap boy 
making his way till he blows it right 
…now blow it right 
…blow it right 
a little more right 

did you ever have one of these nights 
strung out like a string of cracked Christmas lights 
and the light that needs your juice 
is the same fuse you have got to refuse 

{chorus} 

if it’s all the same 
is she better off to blame 
anyone 
except what slipped on 
through her own hands
