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
You've taken the notes from your head And played them out loud On a public announcement instead 'Cause all of 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 the thoughts From a song that was lost
There was nothing but the song we were singing There was nothing but the song we were singing
