Throughout the riff, a melodic crest Intrudes with a crashing splendour I'd never clocked this feeling Ask any other twelve bar tender Never been stricken with awe Befor the familiar row May never capture again this moment to relate to you A carefully restructured attack Tight arrangements hooks that are crisper Have flushed us with a fierce intent Left me with a touch of the Charlie Rich whisper I wear my heart on my sleeve And wipe my nose in it, forgetting it's there It won't be broken beneath these crusty blankets of snot This is the fluid of inspiration Drawn from deep within the heart of itself... The well could use an new rope The undertow of a six-string swell Breaks resistance with attrition Our budget deficit is such We laid off Fatty's dietician You gotta put some lead in your pencil We're on your case Play to your strengths and submit a legacy to embrace I have one solitary course before me This is it... I will try I don't regret for one second That I paint myself into a corner I'll still be here when it's dry!
