Sunshine- the cause of jubilation
Of corn in Oklahoma and other vegetation
Of stroke and melanoma, of thirst and perspiration
Some find the brightness is oppressing
Like couples getting snuggly, or penitents confessing
Or people who are ugly- the darkness is a blessing
I know when I’m out in the burning heat
I seek the shadows and admit defeat
On the shady side of the street
It’s the shoddy side of the street
With the shuttered stores and the shabby whores
And the suicide beneath a splattered sheet
But the shadows let me retreat
And I, not compelled to compete
So I nimbly fade into the dim parade
On the shady side of the street
On the avenue of dives and missions
I can feel like a millionaire with just a dollar-eighty
On the boulevard of broken English
I can loiter with the litter picker and the cleaning lady
And the isolation is sweet
In the squalor I’ll never meet
With the sweaty crowds, out where they’ve swept the clouds
On the shady side of the street

Just imagine if these outtakes made it into EATEOT, the project would've been over seven hours! I love how "I Might Be Vanishing" is a stark contrast from other tracks, being only nine seconds. 913GA
