《Running Out Of Ink》歌词

[00:00:01] Running Out Of Ink - Barenaked Ladies

[00:00:10] I stopped into a club

[00:00:11] I thought I'd see a show

[00:00:13] Everyone was there

[00:00:14] At least everyone I know

[00:00:16] Their knickers in a knot

[00:00:18] Their hands upon their heart

[00:00:19] The best they'd ever seen

[00:00:20] The greatest work of art

[00:00:22] I wished that it was me

[00:00:26] It's bleaker than you think

[00:00:29] I'm running out of ink

[00:00:32] Give a guy a break

[00:00:34] This is what it takes

[00:00:38] To drive a man to drink

[00:00:41] A party at a friend's

[00:00:43] Toronto's coolest scene

[00:00:44] I thought I'd bring a tape

[00:00:46] To show them where I'd been

[00:00:47] And listen for a while

[00:00:49] The lyrics made them smile

[00:00:50] They said that it was fine

[00:00:52] Although it's not the style

[00:00:53] I said it wasn't me

[00:00:57] Once upon a time

[00:00:58] I couldn't get enough

[00:00:59] Until I made it big

[00:01:01] And that's when it got rough

[00:01:03] Dissapointed now

[00:01:05] Perhaps a bit surprised

[00:01:06] To look them in the face

[00:01:07] And see it in their eyes

[00:01:09] They wish it wasn't me

[00:01:12] It's bleaker than you think

[00:01:15] I'm running out of ink

[00:01:19] Give a guy a break

[00:01:21] This is what it takes

[00:01:25] To drive a man to drink

[00:01:28] I used to hold you close

[00:01:29] You used to tell me things

[00:01:31] You never told a soul

[00:01:32] Until you heard me sing

[00:01:34] The details of your life

[00:01:35] Condensed into a song

[00:01:37] The neighbor and his wife

[00:01:38] Work out and sing along

[00:01:40] And you can't look at me

[00:01:44] It's bleaker than you think

[00:01:46] I'm running out of ink

[00:01:50] Give a guy a break

[00:01:52] This is what it takes

[00:01:56] To drive a man to drink

[00:02:01] Could song be an alibi

[00:02:03] A lyric replacement for falling in love

[00:02:07] But now that the well is dry

[00:02:10] I can't understand what I've been singing of

[00:02:17] Do you know what it is to love

[00:02:29] To really love

[00:02:35] To really love really love

[00:02:50] Do I

[00:02:52] I cycled by your house

[00:02:53] I saw you on the lawn

[00:02:55] I see you all the time

[00:02:56] Now that you are gone

[00:02:58] I tried to call your name

[00:02:59] But something made me stop

[00:03:01] I call you once a day

[00:03:02] Until you call the cops

[00:03:04] And told them it was me

[00:03:08] I filled a plastic bag

[00:03:09] With everything I wrote

[00:03:11] I threw it off a bridge

[00:03:12] And thought that it would float

[00:03:13] The water made it sink

[00:03:15] The bag was bleeding ink

[00:03:17] I wished that I could swim

[00:03:18] I wished that I could drink

[00:03:20] I wished that it was me

[00:03:23] It's bleaker than you think

[00:03:26] I'm running out of ink

[00:03:29] Give a guy a break

[00:03:32] This is what it takes

[00:03:35] To drive a man to drink

[00:03:39] I'm running out of ink

[00:03:42] Give a guy a break

[00:03:44] This is what it takes

[00:03:48] To drive a man to drink

[00:03:51] To drive a man to drink

[00:03:54] To drive a man to drink
