Reasonable Man Lyrics by Tiny Ruins

Brightly Painted One

2014

I went in search of a reasonable man
The one I’d read about in books, and I drew me up a plan
Said I’d like to meet him on a corner, if I can
Then we could take either road
Depending upon where we stand
I went in search of a reasonable man

And I thought oh, it must be lonely
To be the only voice of reason
The sky once so rosy
Now I hear a rumbling sound

In silence, drinking coffee for a reasonable time
He said ‘you’re looking pretty’
And I said ‘you’re looking at your prime
Contender for the future…will you be mine?’
But his straight-laced face, it all folded up
Took that ‘it’s not so simple’ line

And I said ‘oh, it must be lonely
To be the only voice of reason
The sky, once so rosy
Now my world is crumbling down’

And I said ‘we need more, reasonable man’
And I said ‘you’re selling us short, reasonable man’
And I said ‘where’s your heart, reasonable man’
‘Cause when the going gets tough
Where are you going, reasonable man?'
