Loudon Wainwright - Muse Blues lyrics

rate me

I went down to library you know the big one way down town

I went down to the library you know the big one way down town

I pulled out my spiral notebook and my scripto pencil

These these these are the words that I did put down

I'm a dud-fire cracker I ain't got any fuse

I ain't got no inspiration since I lost my muse

I'm a table with two legs, I'm a spider with five

I'm going down slow muse when will you arrive

Oh muse where are you?

Oh muse where are you?

You know I eat, drink and I smoke stuff

I don't know what to do.

I went to the mountain and the desert too

I was there ladies so where were you

I'm a flattened out wave I ain't got any curl

I'm an empty old oyster I ain't got any pearl

Muse where are you?

Oh muse where are you?

You know I eat, drink and I smoke stuff

I don't know what to do.

Sit up late, stay up wait. It's a rule of thumb she's got to come

Sit up late, stay up wait. It's a rule of thumb she's got to come

I take lots of cold showers and I go for long walks

I wait for a pitch but the fickle bitch balks

Took a shot of whisky and a snort of cocaine

Opened up my head and stuck electrodes in my brain

Oh muse where are you?

Where are you muse where are you?

You know I eat, drink and I smoke stuff

I eat, drink and I smoke stuff

I eat, drink and I smoke stuff

I don't know what to do.
