| 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 |
