Wrong End

lyrics

I don’t believe in songs no more
In the long dead horse of rock’n’roll
This is just a part of letting go
I don’t believe in songs no more

Starlight diner, bright red vinyl
All the girls with the heavy accents
Sleeping with the lonely expats

And I, walking home tonight
Wet shoes, reptilian smile
Hit play but I can’t decide
‘Oh Sweet Nothing’ or ‘Shine a Light’

May the good lord say a prayer for you
Wherever you go, whatever you do
There ain’t a graceful way to say goodbye
You lock the door and you leave the key behind

I don’t believe in songs no more
In the long dead horse of rock’n’roll
This is just a part of letting go
I don’t believe in songs no more

Lennon Bar in Chinatown
Named it for him but it ain’t there now
Booked DJs and the owner’s band
We got our rocks off in a gypsy cab

And I guess I never said goodbye to you
Left a handful of splinters in a motel room
Did you wrong just like she showed me how
The only way through is just to cut it all out

I don’t believe in songs no more
In the long dead horse of rock’n’roll
This is just a part of letting go
I don’t believe in songs no more






Saturn returns to the city of graves
Blonde girls and my rookie mistakes
Old haunts fill with hungry ghosts
They look in my direction but they leave me alone

Arbat empty, covered with snow
Just like it was a million years ago
That’s the problem with retracing your steps
Leaves you face to face with the emptiness

I don’t believe in songs no more
In the long dead horse of rock’n’roll
This is just a part of letting go
I don’t believe in songs no more

Bought into the legend of the secret chord
I used to have faith of a different sort
That’s me, in the present, on the back porch steps
Lighting the wrong end of a cigarette

And I know, I know, I know, I said I’d cut the cord
But here we are I either can’t or I won’t
Another exercise in letting go
So I won’t believe in songs no more

No, I won’t believe in songs no more
