lyrics

No song to sing
No joke to tell
And once more to the wishing well
We’ve overloaded everything
No song to sing

I look into your eyes and I see hurt
A curtain of a smile to hide your pain
When you see a diamond in the dirt
A certain kind of sadness there remains
You can cry a tear
You can wipe it dry
It’ll disappear ‘til another comes by
‘Til another comes by

No song to sing
No joke to tell
And once more to the wishing well
We’ve overloaded everything
No song to sing

Nothing you can do to change it much
Such a thing is hard to get just right
When you’re breaking everything you touch
Clutching at the dream you had one night
You can buy a ring
You make a vow
Promise everything but you never knew how
No you never knew how

No song to sing
No joke to tell
And once more to the wishing well
We’ve overloaded everything
No song to sing

You work out what you want and you wonder why
They’re the only things your store card cannot by
You don’t know where you’re going

You can read your tea and see your fate
Wait until the stars are all aligned
And you’re thinking everything is great
The state you’re in is only in your mind
You can hire a shrink
You can dial a prayer
You can turn to drink like somebody would care
Like anybody would care

No song to sing
No joke to tell
And once more to the wishing well
We’ve overloaded everything
No song to sing
