overnight story |
|
They
took enough of my mind |
To
make a calculator |
Addin'
up the figures, they'll find |
That
love's a dumbwaiter |
|
Waitin'
for the dream to fade |
Right
into you hit parade |
Maybe
I've made that long black list |
But
I was born when we first kissed |
|
CHORUS: |
Not
another overnight story |
No
overnight success |
We've
hung around too long for glory |
Is
it too late for happiness? |
Yesterday
is over now |
And
we've come too far to bow |
|
Here
comes Swifty, they're off |
To
chase another headline |
But
all the news gets soft |
Before
it makes the deadline |
|
The
morning paper hits my door |
But
I don't read it any more |
Yes
I know what went on last night |
You
made your coffin before daylight |
|
REPEAT
CHORUS |
|
They're
adding inches at our expense |
To
the measure of their capital worth |
The
next big thing is gonna dance and sing |
Us
all off of the face of this earth |
|
They
call it big time love |
But
I'm not nervous |
'Cause
all your turtledoves |
Are
out of service |
|
And
all those arc lights comb the sky |
For
any little birds that fly |
You're
all still jerks, and we're still here |
Fast
asleep at the big premiere |
|
REPEAT CHORUS |
