What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
They took enough of my mind
2
To make a calculator
3
Addin' up the figures, they'll find
4
That love's a dumbwaiter
5
Waitin' for the dream to fade
6
Right into you hit parade
7
Maybe I've made that long black list
8
But I was born when we first kissed
9
CHORUS:
10
Not another overnight story
11
No overnight success
12
We've hung around too long for glory
13
Is it too late for happiness?
14
Yesterday is over now
15
And we've come too far to bow
16
Here comes Swifty, they're off
17
To chase another headline
18
But all the news gets soft
19
Before it makes the deadline
20
The morning paper hits my door
21
But I don't read it any more
22
Yes I know what went on last night
23
You made your coffin before daylight
24
CHORUS
25
They're adding inches at our expense
26
To the measure of their capital worth
27
The next big thing is gonna dance and sing
28
Us all off of the face of this earth
29
They call it big time love
30
But I'm not nervous
31
'Cause all your turtledoves
32
Are out of service
33
And all those arc lights comb the sky
34
For any little birds that fly
35
You're all still jerks, and we're still here
36
Fast asleep at the big premiere
37
CHORUS
