Lately IĄŻve heard this song, you see,
|
And it will not let me be.
|
ItĄŻs a measure or two with a hell of a groove
|
But a lot of simplicity.
|
ItĄŻs the kind of a song you want to write for your mom
|
ItĄŻs the kind of a song that makes you hum for a while
|
ItĄŻs the kind of a song thatĄŻs kind of stupid and dumb.
|
Just another tarnished diamond for the pile.
|
And here I am, smashing square pegs into round holes.
|
Here I am, weakening the whole.
|
Square pegs, weĄŻll knock all their blocks off this time
|
With a hell of a melody rhyme,
|
Always keeping in mind that IĄŻm
|
As square as they come, well thatĄŻs fine.
|
IĄŻll spend all my money and time
|
Spinning wheels on an incline.
|
Staying inside has got me doubting my mind
|
And doing battle with phantoms again.
|
In the form of some notes,
|
I think a musical ghost
|
Is digging dead melodies from my head.
|
I should be out in the sun, I should be having some fun.
|
I should be drinking some beer, I should be reading somewhere.
|
I should be seeing my wife instead of wasting my nights
|
And from all that I hear I should be getting my hair cut
|
But here I am, with 53 chords and broken horn lines.
|
But here I am, losing my mind.
|
Square pegs, weĄŻll knock all their blocks off this time
|
With a hell of a melody rhyme,
|
Always keeping in mind that IĄŻm
|
As square as they come, well thatĄŻs fine.
|
IĄŻll spend all my money and time
|
Spinning wheels on an incline.
