In bed with VICTOR HUGO
Hey, it’s another rainy day
I think I’m gonna stay in bed with Victor Hugo
My revolution can wait another day
And all those things that I should do and say
They’re gonna have to wait another day
Blame it on the gray
Blame it on the reign of Victor Hugo
Oh dear listener I invite you to seize the day
But I’m gonna throw it all away
I think I’m gonna stay
Lock myself away with Victor Hugo
His words they fill my cup they fill my day
With love and loss and life and Liberte
So vive cold and gray
Vive rainy days
Vive my Victor Hugo
–
You know what would be great?
If I could hand my fate
Over to Victor Hugo
And he could give my plot a full rewrite
Juice up the best and throw away the rest
And I think I’d let you stay
I couldn’t edit you away
Even if Victor said so
I’d hid your pages underneath my pillow
But this one is mine to write
And today it says that I
Should stay in bed with Victor Hugo
Oh Dear Listener I invite you to seize the day
But I’m gonna throw it all away
Blame it on the gray
Blame it on the rain
Blame it all on you and me and Victor Hugo
WHEN THE GOING GETS SAD
THE SAD GO INSIDE
AND THE BEHOLDER HAS NO BEAUTY
IN HIS EYE
BUT YOU’RE NOT GOING THERE
THIS TIME NO WAY
THIS TIME NO WAY
WHEN THE GOING GETS LATE
THE LATE HAVE ANOTHER ROUND
AND YOU, CHASING THOSE
CHASING THOSE
ECHOES OF AN EMPTY MIND DOWN
BUT YOU’RE NOT GOING THERE
THIS TIME NO WAY
THIS TIME NO WAY
I’LL DRIVE UNTIL YOU FIND ME
I’LL DRIVE UNTIL YOU KNOW ME
I’LL DRIVE UNTIL YOU SEE ME
YOUR MIND – YOUR MIND CAN DROWN YOU
OR YOUR MIND – YOUR MIND CAN SAVE YOU
WHY DON’T YOU LET YOUR MIND SAVE YOU THIS TIME
ROUND KEY, SQUARE IGNITION
TOO MUCH TOO MUCH TOO MUCH RECOGNITION
WHY DON’T YOU LET YOUR MIND SAVE YOU THIS TIME
I GUESS YOU HAVE TO GO THERE
BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO STAY THERE
WHY DON’T YOU LET YOUR MIND SAVE YOU THIS TIME
I KNOW YOU HAVE TO GO THERE
BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO LIVE THERE
WHY DON’T YOU LET YOUR MIND SAVE YOU THIS TIME
DA DA DA, DA DA DA DA DA
