lyrics

The pressure that comes,
With filling page one,
Could drive one to drink,
Here it is, I am done.
Call it a day,
Call it a night,
You cannot do wrong,
I cannot do right.

If I knew where to start,
I might know where to end,
Might know when to leave,
I might know how to bend,
These rules that were written
By no pen of mine,
To which I adhere,
By which we abide.

The pen is not black,
I won’t write in blue,
It doesn’t seem right
When I’m writing of you.
Call it a day,
Call it a night,
You’ve nothing to say
If you’ve nothing to write.

If I knew where to start,
I might know where to end,
Might know when to leave,
I might know how to bend,
These rules that were written
By no pen of mine,
To which I adhere,
By which we abide.

The writing’s on the wall,
I had no part in it at all,
The book is in the bin,
Why start a fight I’ll never win.
Black or blue or red,
I cannot change the things you said,
So take her home to bed,
I’m sure by morning you’ll be wed.
