You've taken the title of this song
From a life that's beyond
Something that you could belong to
But is it wrong to sing along
When all of the words
They just get on your nerves
And the verse is ringing out like a curse
I'm tired of this old refrain
Is the Chorus you sang
When you had no one to blame
But yourself for singing it all in vain
You've taken the title of this song
From a book that goes on and on
Til you can't find the ending
Was it a funeral or a wedding
Or a seance for the bride
Whose affection had died
Though some say love is suicide
My heart it don't make any sense
Was all that she said
When her love was found dead
But the story was all in her head
(Interlude)
You've taken the notes from your head
And played them out loud
On the public announcement instead
Cause all your thoughts get distorted
The feedback goes on
And you've ruined the song
While everyone just plays along
It's only the notes that you've played
That drowned out the thoughts
From a song that was lost
And the song you sang it didn't have a name
There was nothing,
But the song we were singing
(Repeat 8x)
