Sad Songs
Abandon all romantic notions
Abandon hope
All those who enter here
'cause 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 really matter
And we're just working on the atmosphere
And when the chorus closes in
Just before
Just be sure
Now as 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
They made no difference
I hear the chorus closing in
And when the chorus closes in
Just before
Just be sure
That when 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 crash in like Gena Rowlands
About as subtle as a semaphore
Because the songs
They're never sad enough
Because the drugs
They're never strong enough
And when the song asks "What is love?"
We knew exactly what the answer was
"Baby Don't Hurt Me
Don't Hurt me
No more"
"Baby Don't Hurt Me
Don't Hurt me
No more"
Abandon hope
All those who enter here
'cause 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 really matter
And we're just working on the atmosphere
And when the chorus closes in
Just before
Just be sure
Now as 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
They made no difference
I hear the chorus closing in
And when the chorus closes in
Just before
Just be sure
That when 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 crash in like Gena Rowlands
About as subtle as a semaphore
Because the songs
They're never sad enough
Because the drugs
They're never strong enough
And when the song asks "What is love?"
We knew exactly what the answer was
"Baby Don't Hurt Me
Don't Hurt me
No more"
"Baby Don't Hurt Me
Don't Hurt me
No more"
