Testi Nothing - Daniel Johnston

Nothing

Not that you want to be\nOut of curiosity\nJust a corsage of the world\nI was in love with a girl\nI would the violence foresee\nAll that it ought to be\nBlessed by generosity\nSure to put your heart in a whirl\nStop to pick up a dollar bill\nAs the blood drips at the mill\nYou have fried chicken\nYou ate it up so fast\nLaid down its life just for you\nNow you have nothing to do\nJust a television tube\nOh for goodness sake\nAnd the love you make\nSkipping stones at the lake\nYou have a half baked idea\nTo think we’d be so glad to see ya\nLost in your lonely room\nHow they grow up and bloom\nYoung girls in the magazine\nHow they took part in your doom\nBaby step out of the room\nHunger and lust for life\nShe was like any housewife\nDarning the socks with concern\nGlad you ever were born\nJust to get up in the morn\nWhile all the while you work\nSurrounding by amateurs\nCraving and love showing fame\nThinking your hope was refrained\nIn the emotional pain\nNothing to do but cry\nAs you dry your eyes\nWatching the soap opera die\nLonging for the freedom of success\nWhen we’re all just a temporary guest\nLiving in such a mess\nI’ll bring you back again\nTo the flight you used to have been\nHow could you really win\nPledging your resistance to sin?\nApplied in the twilight\nAnything to make it right\nWhen there’s nothing left but nothing\nBut an empty song\nWhy did it have to go wrong\nHow it all works out\nSomething about it so\nThinking that love is a crime\nYou were a friend of mine\nStanding there with missed time\nYou’re gonna make a joke\nThat is sure too follow\nHappy to be that way\nTomorrow is a brand new day\nWhat do you have to say?\nNothing
