Virginia   Matt Caplan      She said she was a visionary   We all knew she was quite full of herself   And we cast our shadows on the floor   We expected her decision hours ago   And now she's left alone to ask herself   What Virginia has to offer her   Well, we've got faded lives and color television      And he said he was a father figure   We all knew that he was quite the opposite of strength   And we cast our shadows on the floor   We expected him to be hours ago   And now he's left alone to ask himself   What Virginia has to offer him   Well, we've got faded lives and color television      We are unclean and far from sober   All my life I've followed holy visions   Virginia makes me nervous      Oh, and now I'm thinking about rain again   And I'm trying to remember when   We were young enough   To fight the fever back with love   But now how am I gonna fight it back   When they're bringing me under   So grey on the city that'll lead the play      And their consequences   Bring the fever back again   How am I gonna bring it back   When it (rams) me asunder   Bring the past up to par   He says leave me there to follow   Set me up, set me straight   Virginia far too stale to swallow   Well, we've got faded lives and color television      We are unclean and far from sober   All my life I've followed holy visions   Virginia makes me nervous   Faded lives and color television
