about

Living in Nashville was a bad time. I loved my hair stylist, though.

lyrics

A year inside the house, I forgot my way out
A year of solitude, ended with a hand from you
You brought so many things, including face and knee
Yeah I'm in your debt, but the dust ain't settled yet

Yeah, you rubbed me the wrong way
The spit-shine, it still left a stain
Now I know my lamp is not a cage

I'm not in the genie business
Here to grant you all your wishes
Arguing over conditions
Of your mystic proposition
With the promise of tomorrow
An escape that I can't follow
When I'm banished to my bottle
And we're both becoming hollow inside
It’s alright, you’re high & dry

I pointed out a light, you saw it as a sign
Reflecting all the times, I didn't believe my eyes
‘Til further down the line, retreated and resigned
I finally realized, not running is the same as hiding

Yeah, you rubbed me the wrong way
The spit-shine, it still left a stain
Now I know my lamp is not a cage

I'm not in the genie business
Here to grant you all your wishes
Arguing over conditions
Of your mystic proposition
With the promise of tomorrow
An escape that I can't follow
When I'm banished to my bottle
And we're both becoming hollow inside
It’s alright, you’re high & dry

I'm getting out of town, when there's no one around
I just can't stand my ground, when I'm so weak I’m falling down
With my back against the wall, and no one in my corner
Too many punches to dodge, and so I run for cover

Yeah, you rubbed me the wrong way
The spit-shine, it still left a stain
Now I know my lamp is not a cage

I'm not in the genie business
Here to grant you all your wishes
Arguing over conditions
Of your mystic proposition
With the promise of tomorrow
An escape that I can't follow
When I'm banished to my bottle
And we're both becoming hollow inside
It’s alright, you’re high & dry
