she's a melody (stupid song)

she's a melody; when she goes by she disturbs my soul

she's a melody and she's playing me with cool control

i try to keep a quiet heart but all in vain

i'm falling

falling in a trance again

she's a stupid song that once it's heard never goes away

she's a stupid song

sorely nagging me night and day

and just when i think she's gone

well! here she comes again

she's running around my brain

i will carve her name upon the air

not in wood or stone

i will carve her name and tell the world the beauty i've known

and when we both are dead and gone

the melody will carry on

yes

only the notes remain
