Not Tonight

Not gonna sing a lie tonight
nothing about roses, nothing about candlelight
no forced rhymes, no subtle smiles
no hidden kisses
tonight, I won't do it.
Not gonna sing a lie tonight
hope, promiscuity, interwoven heartbreak
something here, something there, something of interest
she's the one, I'm for fun, something simply must be done
nope, none of that bullshit
not singing about it tonight.
Not gonna sing a lie tonight
no jumpy happiness, no droopy sadness
no affairs, no festivals, no flowers
no sunsets, no umbrellas, no dinners
nothing to celebrate
nothing to liberate
nothing to demonstrate
not tonight.
Not gonna sing a lie tonight
so I won't sing at all.

nothing is sacred.

Everything is interrupted
disfigured, ugly and
malformed.
