What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
In the morning I see you crying
2
No one is around at this ungodly hour
3
All the whiskey in your bottle
4
No more than the canvas on the page
5
Once an angel in the evening
6
Helped you pour it down and shut it out
7
Yesterday I saw you realize
8
She don't come here anymore
9
Now, when you lay down to sleep
10
Everything you dream will lose its meaning
11
Music you've tried to create
12
Will only transmit soft and ?
13
Sorry that it's come to this
14
Surely you must have known
15
You were going down
16
In the evening I see you smiling
17
Everyone's around
18
But when the sun goes down
19
All the whiskey in your bottle
20
Is no more than a drink to pass around
21
Once a wise man told you
22
What you don't finish will finish you
23
Yesterday I saw you realize
24
He don't come here anymore
25
Now, when you lay down to sleep
26
Everything you see will take on meaning
27
Music you've tried to create
28
Will only love you un... that you ...ase...
29
Sorry that it's come to this
30
Surely you must have known
31
It was coming down

33
Here lie that last manuscripts of
34
Carter John Leibowitz
35
The last living man in the loneliest town
36
On the desperate border
37
Of southwestern Canada
38
He wrote all his poems in invisible ink
39
And then buried them all in the snow
40
And then when finally Carter John Leibowitz
41
Burned up in a passionate fire
42
Born of his own convictions
43
All of his poems
44
Were eaten by wandering foxes
45
They'd been written on the blue skins
46
Of ten thousand berries
47
Traced like the peaches
48
Of those children uncarried
49
Committed to form by a hand which
50
Knew nothing of form
51
So here lie the last manuscripts
52
Of Carter John Leibowitz
53
Which no one has read from
54
Which no one can read from again
55
Now the same could be said of
56
Miss Margaret Turtledove
57
She sang all the songs she made into a jar
58
Then she capped them with sealing wax
59
Planked them and screwed them fast
60
She flung them down in a well and
61
Poisoned the aquifer
62
And covered them over with mud
63
And when Margaret Turtledove
64
Had buried the things she loved
65
She found there was nothing dug
66
Could never be undug
67
She poured herself down the hole
68
And mined for her lost jar of song
69
But the ground was well satisfied
70
Her table was empty
71
The roots of the hollow trees
72
Had filled themselves plenty
73
The kings of the undersoil had poured
74
All her songs down their throats
75
Then Margaret Turtledove
76
The last thing she ever sung
77
A song in a broken key
78
A tune with no melody
79
A verse with no words to sing
80
Which no one has ever heard
81
Which no one can ever hear again
82
Now you steel down your passageways
83
And hide mirrors on your stage
84
And everyone is watching
85
As you fall through the floor
86
But remember what I said to you
87
The best thing and only thing you do
88
Is disappear
89
When anyone calls at you you cut and run
90
This is the only magic that you know
91
And you walk through your endless days
92
And gather your bills to pay
93
And the women that you cower with
94
Will never bare your child
95
And the only way you'll never die
96
Is writing songs, poetic lies
97
Anything to make your legacy
98
But the ground will one day open up
99
Swallow you in it
100
The work you've done is now undone
101
You never began it
102
The only thing immortal is the epitaph
103
We will carve in your stone
104
Here lie the last manuscripts
105
The words to the songs unwrit
106
The poems in it meaningless
107
The memories of what you did
108
Collected in your consciousness
109
The only thing you ever made
110
The only thing you ever were
111
The only thing you'll ever be
112
Which no one has read from
113
Which no one can read from again
