Don't Ask Me For A Melody

Don't you ever stop
To take a breath
You burn and burn
Until there's nothing left
There's a good way
That scares you to death
But you can take it now
Escape the crowd
Or wait until the next

Misery doesn't sing a chorus
Fit for dancing feet
The melancholy shadows enormous
Hanging on the street
From the silhouette the ballroom casts
As you made your way to leave
This sound has nothing for me

And there's a light bulb
Swinging back and forth
Swaying to the rhythm
Of a slamming door
And if you stand still
Like you did before
The beat will come
And knock you down
Flat on the floor

Don't come here
Expecting a melody
This doesn't sound like me
Don't come here
For a melody
This doesn't sound like me, No
Don't come here
For a melody
This doesn't sound like me

Misery doesn't sing a chorus
Fit for dancing feet
The melancholy shadows enormous
Hanging on the street
From the silhouette the ballroom casts
As you made your way to leave
This sound has nothing for me
