lyrics

His first book was the best - too much self-absorbed shit in the rest
Still you let him take you out to dinner,
maybe dancing and some standards at the jazz club...

So the evening wears on and he's had enough to get him talking freely
And he's throwing his fists around

All he ever wanted was to catch lightning in a bottle
But all that's shining through that glass is reflected off another man
And he's confused whiskey and faint praise with electricity

They're shutting down for the night
Let him get on stage and stand under the spotlight
Too flat-out drunk to make the sentiment sound right

How can this be happening?
Run and tell his family that his blood is worthless after all
And he stole all his best ideas from a toilet wall.
