The Poet Is Not In Today
(Chris Wall)
~chorus~
Oh the poet is not in today
He didn’t say where he’s going to or how long he’s apt to stay
He mentioned that he did not have a worthwhile thing to say
But the poet is not in today
Well he’s burned up all his passion writing greeting cards
His soul no longer glows in the dark
He’s concerned that God cannot see him anymore
So he’s gone to find the place where he once made a spark
~chorus~
He’s tired of writing pretty words for pretty boys
They once made him feel like Cyrano
But now with every single lying rhyme he writes
It makes his heart feel like some old Pinocchio
~chorus~
He said he might go back somewhere just a poundin nails
A job that’s got some dignity and class
He said with guys like you it’s always heads or tails
And you would not know a good line if it bit you in the ass
~chorus~
