lyrics

This morning I read on the brightest green post-it,
A wonderful note only you could have wrote,
It spoke up past the novelist, play-write and activist,
Above existentialist and hopeless dead pacifists,
It just said 'guitar' to cure me of forgetfulness,
And for that I sit and I strum and I sing you this song,
To kill off all my pride and my prejudice,
So that I might tell you the absolute truth here is I need you more,
With every score of music that's written,
And leaves me smitten on the floor.

In Autumn it looks like the trees are on fire,
And down in the cottage we don't have the wires,
That keep you plugged in to the sins that deny us,
The human compulsion to sell and to buy is no more,
We've closed the door on every score,
Of musical vomit that hurls like a comet once more.

The money came and went,
With our bottom dollar spent,
Sold all our shit to pay the rent,
We starve no more.
So sing along, so sick and wrong.
