You need a new song
|
I'll set the words up so they tear right at your soul
|
Don't take me too long
|
But there's a danger that I'll plagiarize something old
|
|
My fingers kill me as I play my guitar
|
'Cause I've been chewing down at my nails
|
My hairline ain't exactly superstar
|
But there's one thing that never fails
|
This never fails
|
|
I write the same old song with a few new lines
|
And everybody wants to cheer it
|
I write the same old song you heard a good few times
|
Admit you really want to hear it
|
|
Whenever I see you
|
You always treat me like I'm some kind of perfect man
|
Just 'cause I please you
|
You explain, but you don't think I can understand
|
|
My head is spinning as I scrawl with my pen
|
'Cause I've been pouring vodka in my soul
|
Nothing really ever changes my friend
|
New lamps for old
|
New lamps for old
|
|
We sing the same old song, just like a vintage car
|
You can look but you won't ever drive it
|
We drink the same old wine from a brand new jar
|
We get hung over, but we always survive it
|
|
Turn on the radio
|
Love is proclaimed
|
Again and again and again
|
Join in and sing
|
Now, don't be ashamed
|
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
|
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
|
Let it rain
|
Let it rain
|
|
We hum the same old lines to a different crowd
|
And everybody wants to cheer it
|
We run on endless time to reach a higher cloud
|
But we never ever seem to get near it
|
|
We sing the same old song
|
