Track 6 on the "Dancing With Skeletons" EP. Dedicated to every author, songwriter, poet, etc who has ever suffered from "writer's block". Yeah, it sucks!
lyrics
Whoa-ho!
Whoa-ho!
Whoa-ho!
Oh no!
I got no more words, nothing left to say.
Try to tell a story, it all just flies away.
I know it should be easy, to scribble something down.
But, left to my devices, all I do is frown.
Look to me for inspiration, pain is all you'll see.
A blank sheet of paper where my brain used to be.
Writer's Block!
Yeah, it sucks!
Writer's Block!
My life sucks!
Should I be a junkie? Is heroin my friend?
Or maybe hit the pipe, and ride it 'til the end?
Hemingway used booze. Maybe that's the key.
Write it drunk, edit sober, then I will be free.
Look to me for inspiration, pain is all you'll see.
A blank sheet of paper where my brain used to be.
Writer's Block!
Yeah, it sucks!
Writer's Block!
My life sucks!
Writer's Block!
Yeah, it sucks!
Writer's Block!
My life sucks!
(spoken) Join a band they said, it'll be fun they said. You know what you can do? You can be the vocalist and write down all the words everyone is going to sing along with. But what am I supposed to do when I have a pen and a blank sheet of paper in front of me and I don't know what the hell I'm going to write down? How am I supposed to sell this to you when I don't even know what I'm saying?!
Here's a verse on Satan! That'll make 'em smile.
The Devil let's them most, keeps them busy for a while.
They'll just call it metal, when the horns are up high!
Pentagrams and goats! That'll get me by.
Look to me for inspiration, pain is all you'll see.
A blank sheet of paper where my brain used to be.
Writer's Block!
Yeah, it sucks!
Writer's Block!
My life sucks!
I got no more words, nothing left to say.
Try to tell a story, it all just flies away.
I know it should be easy, to scribble something down.
But, left to my devices, all I do is frown.
Look to me for inspiration, pain is all you'll see.
A blank sheet of paper where my brain used to be.
Writer's Block!
Yeah, it sucks!
