lyrics

Abandon all romantic notions
Abandon hope all those who enter here
Cuz we’re just going through the motions
And I’ll say anything you want to hear

Just string some words together
Whatever helps to keep your conscience clear
Because the words don’t matter
So we’re just working on the atmosphere

And when the chorus closes in
Just before
Just be sure
Now when she cues the strings
That the words you sing
Are worth repeating

I wrote the songs that made the young girls cry
I wrote the songs that made them want to die
By any metric you might measure with
I made the songs that made no difference

I hear the chorus closing in

And when the chorus closes in
Just before
Just be sure
Just as she cues the strings
That the words you sing
Are worth repeating

It’s just a question of conviction
Don’t get too hung up on the metaphors
Just come in like Gena Rowlands
About as subtle as a semaphore

Because the songs are never sad enough
Because the drugs are never strong enough
And when the song asked us “What is love?”
We knew exactly what the answer was:

“Baby Don’t Hurt Me, Don’t Hurt me
No more”
