muse blues

loudon wainwright iii

i went down to the library

you know the big one way downtown

i went down to the library

you know the big one way downtown

i pulled out my spiral notebook and my scripto pencil

these

these

these are the words that i did put down

i'm a dud-fire cracker

i ain't got any fuse

i ain't got no inspiration since i lost my muse

i'm a table with two legs

i'm a spider with five

i'm going down

slow muse

when will you arrive?

oh muse

where are you?

oh muse

where are you?

you know i eat

drink and i smoke stuff

i don't know what to do

i went to the mountain and the desert too

i was there ladies so where were you

i'm a flattened out wave

i ain't got any curl

i'm an empty old oyster

i ain't got any pearl

muse

where are you?

oh muse

where are you?

you know i eat

drink and i smoke stuff

i don't know what to do

sit up late

stay up wait

it's a rule of thumb she's got to come

sit up late

stay up wait

it's a rule of thumb she's got to come

i take lots of cold showers and i go for long walks

i wait for a pitch but the fickle bitch barks

took a shot of whiskey and a snort of cocaine

opened up my head and stuck electrodes in my brain

oh muse

where are you?

where are you muse

oh where are you?

you know i eat

drink and i smoke stuff

i eat

drink and i smoke stuff

i eat

drink and i smoke stuff

i don't know what to do
