OLIVIA OVER THE GREY ( Olivia's Chorus 1 ) Someday I'll wish upon a car Driver fill my plastic mayonnaise jar Before somebody finds me On a tar roof contemplating death A Kit Kat and my Lemonheads Live from somewhere concert memory ( Verse 1 ) Olivia's brother said Olivia called him Jotted notes on the Metro Link Olivia's brother said She must'a scored a job Blue Bird School Bus in Georgia he thinks And Olivia's brother said She Western Unioned Send money for work boots next week Then Olivia kind'a mumbled Four hundred dollars more For the next three uncertain months please ( Olivia's Chorus 2 ) Someday I'll sing to planet mars From chimneys atop drunken bars In shit holes you'll never find me My mom's umbrella held so high Lost in a Tom Waits lullaby Blue needle scars behind me ( Olivia's Bridge ) Gotta check on baby brother soon I chose to detox here in a motel room On the edgy side a Macon Watchin' reruns of this silly show I heard of sunken moons ago Enjoying plum jelly on my bacon One where younger Lily Tomlin Plays this snorting operator Askin' for forty cents more I can smell these college boys snffin' glue Met 'em at Fresh Air Bar - B - Que Just heard one of 'em hit the floor ( Olivia's Chorus 3 ) Someday I'll wish from a real front yard Emerald green grass near a wide boulevarde Pray that's where you'll find me Now after it rains it's just shit holes In place of where rainbows s'posed ta go Dank grey puddles seem to follow me ( Verse 2 ) Olivia's brother said Olivia can fool you Just when you think she's sailing clear Olivia's brother said She trusts you dearly When you write this song to be fair Our Great Grandma Avery sent A Glen Campbell C D Said it was Grandpa's favorite one Said Olivia would recognize Her connection to Grandpa 'Bout dark eyed sea birds flying in the sun
