Matchbook Song Songtext
von Graham Lindsey

This ain′t no love song
This ain't no organized and scripted happenstance
This ain′t no ordinary radio summons straining for amends
It ain't this and it ain't that
This ain′t no sideshow strip down college vomit dance
It′s just a song
This ain't Kansas and this ain′t May
This ain't the stuffing in a scarecrow wearing nothing but the rain
This ain′t no cheap and dismal trick or treat diagnosed in a day
It's what you want or so you say
If you need something more than I′ll be on my way
It's just a song


So here's your posies and here′s my train
Well I hope that we live long enough to see a better day
But this ain′t forever there's no such thing
This ain′t no frantic rag a-waving for attention to my dreams
This ain't political masturbation masquerading as a theme
Ain′t no psychology blow job for a scream
It could be you or it could be me
But it's just a song
So here′s your hook and here's my line
I apologize I couldn't give enough to you with rhymes
But I promise though these words may not resound
I′ll always be here even if my heart is wrong
With just a song

We are strangers
And there ain′t no better place that we can go
This ain't no sensational and cataclysmic century show
No high-tech prophecy of doom or hope
I′m only trying to find the right road
With just a song
So here's the hook and here′s the line
There ain't nothing at the end but it′s sinking all the time
This can't be the only way back down
But it's the only way I′ve got to reach the ground
With just a song
