lyrics

There are silver clouds all over the sky
but you'll find the black lining.
If you're looking for happiness
why not cut back on your whining?

And be an optimist
so when it all goes wrong
you can still find your way home.
But you're a pessimist
and you pay for it.
And your drag is all your own.

You're crying 'bout your half glass of milk
before you've even spilled it.
I have a glass that's half-empty, too -
but I know life refills it.

'Cause I'm an optimist
and when it all goes wrong
I know I'll still find my way home.
But you're a pessimist
and you pay for it.
And your drag is all your own.

Only you could see this day
and find a way to bitch.
It's such a fucked-up way to live.
It keeps you down.

I'm such an optimist
that when December comes
I can still believe it's June.
But you're a pessimist
and it eats you up.
And you'll probably die too soon.

I'm a optimist.
And it all comes down
to the way I choose to see.
But you're a pessimist
and, hey, that's your choice, too
but don't you lay your drag on me.
I don't want it.

There are silver clouds all over the sky
but you'll find the black lining.

from Fidelity is the Enemy, track released July 17, 2001
Here's how I remember it:

Record, Mixed and Produced by Andy Kravitz at The Brickhouse, Norristown, PA.

Scott Bricklin played bass and the tiniest and yet essential bit of electric guitar. Mike Frank played wurlitzer electric piano and organ and talks. Andy Kravitz played drums and definitely played tambourine. James and Brent Kravitz ran around the studio and were boisterous. I sang, said "Sun Ra" (Joey Mutis was a definite influence) and played electric and leslied guitars.
