Old 97s - Book Of Poems lyrics

Rowboat lightning I kissed her yeah it didn't mean a thing

Seems like years ago it was yesterday

Fire drill yell freeze don't hang around long face disease

I got a book of poems that's gonna set you free

Well it's bad luck and it's a hard luck story

And I'm sorry I ain't sticking around

I got a real bad feeling that a book of poems ain't enough

Well it's a sick world and sixteen days

I got nightmares every night

I got a real bad feeling that a book of poems ain't enough

Hardcore uptown not the kind of place you wanna settle down

I only walked her home but that was bad enough

Two trains yell freeze it was a head-on cold now it's a love disease

I got a book of poems you gotta see to believe
