Played this in a high school garage band, great tune

Ric Ocasek versus Benjamin Orr for lead singer! Kind of like John Lennon versus Paul McCartney; The Beatles.

Words about Words
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

I cannot hear the music
I want to hear a song
All I hear is more words
And they keep on coming on

I wake up with the words
They pour into my mind
I am afraid that I will loose them
That they will be left behind

[bridge]

I rush to write them down
I repeat them in my mind
I say them ten times over
It's a pen I'm trying to find

But so what, I write them down
It is only a few words
It wasn't an idea, not a real thing
Just words, and words, and words

[instrumental]

I cannot find the beat
I don't hear a melody
Just old patterns I repeat
That's all I seem to see

If not words, then an idea
Can at least, I have that
But no, all I get is words
Just crap that I have spat

[bridge]

It all comes at me too fast
I write and write and write
Someday I need to stop
It keeps me up at night

I am going around in circles
Just more words about the words
What about the music, that I never hear 
I only hear words, and that is that

[instrumental]

It all comes at me too fast
I write and write and write
Someday I need to stop
It keeps me up at night

I am going around in circles
Just more words about the words
What about the music, that I never hear 
I only hear words, and that is that

[outro]
