Lyrics

They say you’re killing my…
You say they’re killing my mind.
He say that “…love is blind,”
You say it’s “…hard to find,”
all the time,

Anyway…

You say they’re killing my…
They say you’re wasting my time.
He say “…you’re not the kind,”
You say “I’m winning mine,”
all the time…

But now the game’s all done,
you won to lose.
Your recent folly?
choice: your living muse.
Just thinking
all the nights I sat, we spent:
and now I get what’s in your goddamn head!
you better look and shout the siren song,
Before you know it
you’ll be dead and gone;
and since you’re here to hear, friend,
listen well:

You better catch it! Hell!
your gift?
veins bled the lines,
taking time, you talk like
life’s lined with mines—
…just like a
One Trick Pony!

But now the phase is done
of yarns and runes;
and still you place blame
on the friends you used!
Just thinking
all the nights I sat, we spent:
to find your pages blank, and books unread!
You better pour that madness into song;
Before you know it,
you’ll be dead and gone;
and since you’re here to hear, friend,
Listen well—

You better catch it! Hell!
or hiss hate on peers’ penned lines:
loathing mine,
you talk like kings sit back, unwind—
soon you’ll find
your grapes dead on the vine,
rotted rhymes,
you’ll then claim
life’s displaced by time:
just like a One Trick Pony…
