Loudon Wainwright Iii - Muse Blues lyrics

I went down to the library, you know the big one way downtown I went down to the library, you know the big one way downtown I pulled out my spiral notebook and my scripto pencil These, these, these are the words that I did put down I'm a dud-fire cracker, I ain't got any fuse I ain't got no inspiration since I lost my muse I'm a table with two legs, I'm a spider with five I'm going down, slow muse, when will you arrive? Oh muse, where are you? Oh muse, where are you? You know I eat, drink and I smoke stuff I don't know what to do I went to the mountain and the desert too I was there ladies so where were you I'm a flattened out wave, I ain't got any curl I'm an empty old oyster, I ain't got any pearl Muse, where are you? Oh muse, where are you? You know I eat, drink and I smoke stuff I don't know what to do Sit up late, stay up wait It's a rule of thumb she's got to come Sit up late, stay up wait It's a rule of thumb she's got to come I take lots of cold showers and I go for long walks I wait for a pitch but the fickle b**h barks Took a shot of whiskey and a snort of c**aine Opened up my head and stuck electrodes in my brain Oh muse, where are you? Where are you muse, oh where are you? You know I eat, drink and I smoke stuff I eat, drink and I smoke stuff I eat, drink and I smoke stuff I don't know what to do
