Nothing

Not that you want to be

Out of curiosity

Just a corsage of the world

I was in love with a girl

I would the violence foresee

All that it ought to be

Blessed by generosity

Sure to put your heart in a whirl

Stop to pick up a dollar bill

As the blood drips at the mill

Have you got fried chicken?

You ate it up so fast

Laid down its life just for you

Now you have nothing to do

Just a television tube

Oh for goodness sake

And the love you make

Skipping stones at the lake

You got a half-baked idea

To think we’d be so glad to see ya

Lost in your lonely room

How they grow up and bloom

Young girls in the magazine

How they took part in your doom

Baby step out of the womb

Hunger and lust for live

She was like any housewife

Darning the socks with concern

Glad you ever were born

Just to get up in the morn

While all the while you were

Surrounded by amateurs

Grieving in love so insane

Thinking your hope was refrain

And the emotional pain

Nothing to do but cry

As you dry your eyes

Watching the soap opera die

Longing for the freedom of success

When we’re all just a temporary guest

Living in such a mess

I’ll bring you back again

Just like you used to have been

How could you really win

Pledging your existence to sin?

Delight in the twilight

Anything to make it right

When there’s nothing left but nothing

But an empty song

Why did it have to go wrong?

How it all works out

Something about it so

Thinking that love is a crime

You were a friend of mine

Standing there with missed time

You’re gonna make it, Joe

Love is sure to follow

Happy to be that way

Tomorrow is a brand new day

What do you have to say?

Nothing
