Lyrics

Wake up in the morning with a head like ‘what ya done?’

This used to be the life but I don’t need another one.

You like cuttin’ up and carrying on, you wear them gowns.

So how come I feel so lonely when you’re up getting down?

So I’ll play along when I hear that special song

I’m gonna be the one who gets it right.

You’d better move when you’re swayin’ round the room

Looks like the magic’s only ours tonight

But I don’t feel like writin’

When the old Joanna plays

My heart could take a chance

But my two feet can’t find a way

You’d think that I could muster up a little soft-shoe gentle sway

But I don’t feel like writin’

No sir, no writin’ today.

Don’t feel like writin’, writin’

Even if i find nothin’ better to do

Don’t feel like writin’, writin’

Why’d you pick a tune when I’m not in the mood?

Don’t feel like writin’, writin’

I’d rather be home with the one in the bed till dawn, with you,

Cities come and cities go just like the old empires

When all you do is change your clothes and call that versatile.

You got so many colors make a blind man so confused.

Then why can’t I keep up when you’re the only thing I lose?

So I’ll just pretend that I know which way to bend

And I’m gonna tell the whole world that you’re mine.

Just please understand, when I see you clap your hands

If you stick around I’m sure that I’ll be fine

You can’t make me dance around

But your two-step makes my chest pound.

Just lay me down as you float away into the shimmer light.
