All Sleeve, No Sun

Oh - unwrap it, unwrap it Nothing inside but the shine of it, ah-ah

Bright shrink-wrap shining like a brand-new sky You promised me an ocean in a square of plastic lie I peeled away the cover, threw the windows open wide And found a sunny postcard with no beach inside

Glossy little promise on a glossy little shelf I loved the way it looked at me, I bought it for myself The cover does the smiling, the cover does the talk Two steps and a heartbeat, baby, watch me walk

Oh, what a gorgeous nothing, gift-wrapped and undone Dressed up like a summer that never quite begun

All sleeve, no sun! All sleeve, no sun! A picture of a season that nobody won Hand me the wrapper, keep the place it's from I'm dancing in the shine of all sleeve, no sun

They built me a window and they painted on the day A perfect little nowhere I could never give away But the saxophone is calling and the beat is feeling fine If the box came up empty, then the empty's gonna shine

So pour another color on the gray of what I bought Turn the hollow into something, turn the missing into thought I'll wear it like a medal, I'll spin it like it's fun A trophy made of daylight and a whole lot of no sun

All sleeve, no sun! All sleeve, no sun! A picture of a season that nobody won Hand me the wrapper, keep the place it's from I'm dancing in the shine of all sleeve, no sun

All sleeve, no sun (oh-oh-oh-oh) Dancing anyway till the morning comes All sleeve, no sun...
