lyrics
Every morning, every day
a blank page waits
for me to spoil its potential
and once I’ve vandalized
it I’ll shut my eyes
and pretend that it’s clever
and worth the hours it took to write
with all my might
All dressed in rags
I will go, and confess
it’s so meaningless
and justly forgotten
I can, and I will
spout doggerel
cursing the muses
who hide away like cowards in
the bare margins
all dressed in rags
a blank page waits
for me to spoil its potential
and once I’ve vandalized
it I’ll shut my eyes
and pretend that it’s clever
and worth the hours it took to write
with all my might
All dressed in rags
I will go, and confess
it’s so meaningless
and justly forgotten
I can, and I will
spout doggerel
cursing the muses
who hide away like cowards in
the bare margins
all dressed in rags
