Gibbs-Hurley Residue, tell me what can I do To get the trace of you off of me ' Residue, on the tip of my tongue And filling up my lungs where I breathe I wish that I could face All the flavors I still taste I wish that I could peel off All the layers that I feel of residue Residue, on the small of my back And making me go slack when I'm brave Residue, like a rash on my skin And dripping down my chin when I shave I wish that I could face All the flavors I still taste I wish that I could peel off
All the layers that I feel of residue Hiding underneath my nails Puncturing my stiff starched sails Wash and dry, iron and fold It's starting to get kind of old It's starting to make me feel old Residue, on the edge of the bed And propping up my head so I can't sleep Residue, in the corners and seams And dancing in my dreams midnight's deep I wish that I could face All the flavors I still taste I wish that I could peel off All the layers that I feel of residue Residue...
