Lost for Words

from Straight Out of the Bat Cave by Liam King

/

lyrics

I've got no songs to sing
Can't think of anything to say tonight
To say tonight

I wish I could but I'm
Stumped for ideas and I don't know why
I don't know why

I'm staring at the floor
There's no one at the door on this cold night
Not on this cold night

The wind it freezes me
No one believes in me or the things I do
The things I do out here

Lost for Words, Lost in Sounds
No one's heard what I've put down
Lost for Words, Lost in Sounds
I wish I was in another town

The state of things today
Would make most people say that we've gone wrong
Yeah, we've gone wrong

I try hard not to think
Like Beck said once I think
And that's OK, that's OK

I wish I could be there
Not that I'm wanted but I'd feel alright
Like someone cared

This paper's begun to rust
My pen's the only one I trust right now
Trust right now

My mind keeps drawing blanks
I'm ripping up the planks that I stand on
That I stand on

I'm just a basement case
Recording everything that comes my way
Comes my way

I think I've gone too far
Not that I drive a car legally
Legally

Yeah, I'm still underground
A horseless rider in a one-horse town
A one-horse town

The words keep pouring out
Like water from a tap and I'll turn it off
Turn you off always

Lost in Sounds, Lost for Words
Fucked up the order of the chorus but not the verse
Lost for Words, Lost in Sounds
I need to get out of this town
Before I drown

I want to be Buckaroo Banzai when I grow up.

In the meantime, I make a variety of weirdly personal & experimental music, and enjoy doing so. I hope you enjoy it too! :)

NEW LP! Anomalous Materials available NOW!! Also available thru Spotify and other online retailers.

Don't forget to keep an eye on my Soundcloud for work-in-progress tracks.
