lyrics

WRITER'S BLOG

Picture this, a dirty window
and if not, just call it sky
guess the sun hides round the corner
might be yellow, might be shy
I seem to sleepwalk at my table
through a desert of deserting thoughts
a thousand stories in the naked city
and yeah, clues, there must be lots

Oh, my head is in a daze
can’t you see that I’m amazed
I’m lost for words, such is the case
I’m in a hole, so where’s that ace

An interlude?
a chorus?
we all have our excuses
some are rude,
or bore us
and others just confuse us

Now it’s way past waky-waky
and my hands are kind of shaky
and my mouth attempts to mumble
stacks of words that seem to stumble
like stuttered sentences of waste
and I copy, cut, and paste
try to get them all in line
some more coffee would be fine

What is left leaves without trace
all the blanks take too much space
let me tell you, oops, erased
guess I’m going through a phrase
