lyrics

nothing ever comes from nothing
says a line from a list on a page in my notebook
everything comes from somewhere and
somewhere is a place that I know that I sometimes look

even a little desperation
is not a call to the gods who resist my plea to the end
never mind all the business they attend to
its an endless pleasure whose only fault is it ends

inspiration is a dangerous thing
there's a monkey inside and i don't think he sings
all these verses keeping meter and rhyme
slicing up pieces of all our precious time

even a little desperation
is not a call to the gods who never react very fast
everything comes from somewhere and
somewhere is a place that I know I have been in the past

I'm feeling good but I'm lookin bad
I'll be the carpet and you be the match
flying so softly over cities at night
i can't imagine why i don't cry

you're feeling bad but you're looking good
so you can be batman, I am robin hood
you're bowling them over and you don't even know it
i can't imagine why they don't show it

you never know who you are fooling
and they never know the way you fealt when you sing this song
everyone comes from someone
and someone is a person that in the past I have known

even a little desperation
is not the thing that it used to be when we were young
all in all all of the important matters
are matters whose only fault is that they've been done
