lirik lagu zac young - nobody likes a sober poet
when the day turns off
and the city lights on
that’s when the souls
begin to crawl
they bob and weave
like thelonious’s dream
through the alleyways
and downtown streets
if your ears are keen
you can hear them sing
sounds of a mad circus freak
symphony
their rendezvous
got nothing to do with you
just escaping the grave
for a view
i’m a few pints deep
apparitions are glowing
this life ain’t for the weak
and everyone knows it
n0body likes a sober poet
there’s a man in the back
with a mummified cat
he’s like a modern pharaoh
in a porkpie hat
and despite belief
that cat just winked
so i mosey on over
for questioning
“h~llo sir, hi
you and sphinx seem wise
could y’all tell me
the secret to life?”
they said, “it was jazz, it was jazz
it was always jazz, but nothing that essential can ever last”
i’m a few pints back
and the gurus are boasting
so pass me a glass
because i’m stuck in the notion
n0body likes a sober poet
i’m kind of feeling at home
welcome to the freak show
if life is just one big poem
i want to live in your song
there’s a flock of girls
oh, legs and curls
in correlation with their curves
the planet turns
and despite belief
the tattooed one just winked
so i mosey on over
for questioning
“h~llo miss, hi
you ladies seem nice
what’s a beauty like me
have to do to entice?”
she said, “you should never intrude
you knows it’s kind of rude
but the way you slur your words
is kind of cute”
some girls want a ring
and some girls want roses
some girls are why we sing
and some girls make potions
but no girl likes a sober poet
i’m kind of feeling at home
welcome to the freak show
if life is just one big poem
i want to live in your song
