 Til the Novelty Wears Off (copyright 2000 by Adam Selzer. All Rights Reserved. ASCAP)
It's another damned night in the Randolph hotel You know they charge by the hour and you can tell by the smell Put on this coat it'll keep you dry in case it ever starts to rain It's way too big on you, looks like a pair of dark grey angel wings There you stand naked by the window again looking out over Grand Avenue And sooner or later you'll figure out that I'm not good enough for you That day will come It always comes chorus: I will stay with you til the novelty wears off Til the money's gone or the novelty wears off Til the novelty wears off It's way too hot for late September today I like to put on my coat as soon as August's gone away You're gonna look fine you always do don't try to tell me otherwise Take off your makeup, take off your shawl, step lightly darlin' out of that disguise Come on baby home with me and let me hold you just for now I swear it won't be quite as hot when the sun goes back behind the clouds And I won't touch No I won't touch CHORUS All that you want is another cheap thrill I'm all out of matches and patience and pills And we're both running out of things to say Why do I do this to myself anyway? I won't touch Christ, I never touch Chorus BACK TO HOME PAGE Copyright 2003 by Adam Selzer, all rights reserved, ASCAP |
