Sophomore Jinx

[Verse 1]

Give them what they want, when they want, when they know what they want

I'm sick of thinking for myself so I'll play along

Stick me in a room full of books, suits, and record deals

Be sure to make some coffee with your cream and ask me how I feel

It's been a long, lonely wait

Oh, we can hardly wait

To hear the tunes you have made

I'll bet they're really great

There's something to the way

You find time to create

The second album is late

Where is it anyway?

[Chorus]

Here I am, believe the sound

You breathe, I'm in up to my knees

Disregard everything

'Cause now I'm over my sophomore jinx

You're crowding my dollar signs

Make everyone sing your little songs I'll call mine

My sophomore jinx, get to the back of my line

Love turns to hate when I stand a million to one

To one...

[Verse 2]

X amount of dollars for my head, should I say commodity

Help me get Madonna off my bed, she's just too drunk to sing

Management's explaining, entertaining to the industry

They've heard the same spiel a million times, maybe two or three

The illusion is sealed

The band's all wrapped in chains

Wish their vibe was still real

Now it all sounds the same tonight

All the grooves that they steal

All the blues down on Beale

Prolific wisdom English poets often write

[Chorus]

Here I am, believe the sound

You breathe, I'm in up to my knees

Disregard everything

'Cause now I'm over my sophomore jinx

You're crowding my dollar signs

Make everyone sing your little words, they don't rhyme

My sophomore jinx, you've wasted all of my precious time

Love turns to hate when I stand a million to one

[Outro]

Long, lonely wait

Instant replay

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah, yeah
