barenaked ladies - running out of ink [bonus track] lyrics
i stopped into a club
i thought i’d see a show
everyone was there
at least everyone i know
their knickers in a knot
their hands up on the heart
the best i’d ever seen
the greatest book of art
i wish that it was me
it’s bleaker than you think
i’m running out of ink
give a guy a break
this is what it takes
to drive a man to drink
a party at a friend’s
toronto’s coolest scene
i thought i’d bring a tape
to show them where i’d been
and listen for a while
the lyrics made them smile
they said that it was fine
although it’s not the style
i said it wasn’t me
once upon a time
i couldn’t get enough
until i made it big
and that’s when it got rough
disappointed now
perhaps a bit surprised
to look them in the face
and see it in their eyes
they wish it wasn’t me
it’s bleaker than you think
i’m running out of ink
give a guy a break
this is what it takes
to drive a man to drink
i used to hold you close
you used to tell me things
you never told a soul
but then you heard me sing
the details of your life
condensed into a song
the neighbor and his wife
work out and sing along
and you can’t look at me
it’s bleaker than you think
i’m running out of ink
give a guy a break
and this is what it takes
to drive a man to drink
could song be an alibi?
a lyric replacement for falling in love
but now that the well is dry
i can’t understand
what i’ve been singing of
do you know
what it is to love?
to really love?
to really love?
really love, do i?
i cycled by your house
i saw you on the lawn
i see you all the time
and now that you are gone
i tried to call your name
but something made me stop
i call you once a day
until you call the cops
and told them it was me
i filled a plastic bag
with everything i wrote
and threw it off a bridge
i thought that it would float
the water made it sink
the bag is bleeding ink
i wish that i could swim
i wish that i could drink
i wish that it was me
it’s bleaker than you think
i’m running out of ink
and give a guy a break
this is what it takes
to drive a man to drink
i’m running out of ink
and give a guy a break
this is what it takes
to drive a man to drink
to drive a man to drink
to drive a man to drink
