Only Words Are Left
BY: Fritz Beer (Copyright 2001)

Back to the list of releases.

WRITER'S COMMENTS: This song is about becoming famous, which I know nothing about, but which I imagine is like being in a really plush cage where all your old friends, especially the girlfriends you've shit on, can come and poke you through the bars with the bars with long sticks and throw peanuts at you.
.

You’ll be the first to get your head chopped off if you catch on
So far the smart guys all have left
And if they finger you for the one who turned the real lights on
You can’t say your palate's cleft

Only words are left
Only words are left
only words are left
They don’t count

We all know we’re thrown in hanging thanks for the fleshing out
We know that ego is a whore
We seemed to manage well enough until you called us out
You’ve got us down on the killing floor

And we can play it all down
And you can talk you way into anything
But like they say in this town
They don't count

You’ll be the first to get your head chopped off if you catch on
So far the smart guys all have left
