I Write The Book

I'm over here and it's cold

I'm writing recipes for growing old

Growing old, mean and alone

Oh, baby, pick up the phone

This pain in my heart

Has been with me through the ages

And I walk IT around like a very old friend

It goes everywhere I go

It's been everywhere I've been

There's something shiny in my pocket

It's the key to my heart

Why don't you unlock it?

I write the book on loneliness

I write the poem on pain

I'm the obituary in the newspaper

Lying out in the pouring rain

It used to be, babe, good between us

I don't know how to explain

We used to be Adonis and Venus

Now we're the water flowing down the drain

Don't wanna be bad

Don't wanna lie

Don't wanna make you mad

And I don't wanna die

Knowing we're apart for the rest of our lives

Cuts through me like a knife

I been eating your crops like a big old locust

Now I wanna be a little more in focus

I write the book on loneliness

I write the poem on pain

I'm the obituary in the newspaper

Lying out in the pouring rain

MUSICAL BREAK

I write the book on loneliness

I write the poem on pain

I'm the obituary in the newspaper

Lying out in the pouring rain

Oh...

And the obit....oh

And the obit....oh

And the obit....everyday

Whoa, oh oh, oh, oh ah...

I write the book


Mirror lyrics:

I write the book

Whoa, oh oh, oh, oh ah...

And the obit....everyday

And the obit....oh

And the obit....oh

Oh...

Lying out in the pouring rain

I'm the obituary in the newspaper

I write the poem on pain

I write the book on loneliness

MUSICAL BREAK

Lying out in the pouring rain

I'm the obituary in the newspaper

I write the poem on pain

I write the book on loneliness

Now I wanna be a little more in focus

I been eating your crops like a big old locust

Cuts through me like a knife

Knowing we're apart for the rest of our lives

And I don't wanna die

Don't wanna make you mad

Don't wanna lie

Don't wanna be bad

Now we're the water flowing down the drain

We used to be Adonis and Venus

I don't know how to explain

It used to be, babe, good between us

Lying out in the pouring rain

I'm the obituary in the newspaper

I write the poem on pain

I write the book on loneliness

Why don't you unlock it?

It's the key to my heart

There's something shiny in my pocket

It's been everywhere I've been

It goes everywhere I go

And I walk IT around like a very old friend

Has been with me through the ages

This pain in my heart

Oh, baby, pick up the phone

Growing old, mean and alone

I'm writing recipes for growing old

I'm over here and it's cold
