Running Out Of Ink - Barenaked Ladies[00:00:01]
I stopped into a club[00:00:10]
I thought I'd see a show[00:00:11]
Everyone was there[00:00:13]
At least everyone I know[00:00:14]
Their knickers in a knot[00:00:16]
Their hands upon their heart[00:00:18]
The best they'd ever seen[00:00:19]
The greatest work of art[00:00:20]
I wished that it was me [00:00:22]
It's bleaker than you think[00:00:26]
I'm running out of ink[00:00:29]
Give a guy a break[00:00:32]
This is what it takes[00:00:34]
To drive a man to drink[00:00:38]
A party at a friend's[00:00:41]
Toronto's coolest scene[00:00:43]
I thought I'd bring a tape[00:00:44]
To show them where I'd been[00:00:46]
And listen for a while[00:00:47]
The lyrics made them smile[00:00:49]
They said that it was fine[00:00:50]
Although it's not the style[00:00:52]
I said it wasn't me[00:00:53]
Once upon a time[00:00:57]
I couldn't get enough[00:00:58]
Until I made it big[00:00:59]
And that's when it got rough[00:01:01]
Dissapointed now[00:01:03]
Perhaps a bit surprised[00:01:05]
To look them in the face[00:01:06]
And see it in their eyes[00:01:07]
They wish it wasn't me[00:01:09]
It's bleaker than you think[00:01:12]
I'm running out of ink[00:01:15]
Give a guy a break[00:01:19]
This is what it takes[00:01:21]
To drive a man to drink[00:01:25]
I used to hold you close[00:01:28]
You used to tell me things[00:01:29]
You never told a soul[00:01:31]
Until you heard me sing[00:01:32]
The details of your life[00:01:34]
Condensed into a song[00:01:35]
The neighbor and his wife[00:01:37]
Work out and sing along[00:01:38]
And you can't look at me[00:01:40]
It's bleaker than you think[00:01:44]
I'm running out of ink[00:01:46]
Give a guy a break[00:01:50]
This is what it takes[00:01:52]
To drive a man to drink[00:01:56]
Could song be an alibi[00:02:01]
A lyric replacement for falling in love[00:02:03]
But now that the well is dry[00:02:07]
I can't understand what I've been singing of [00:02:10]
Do you know what it is to love [00:02:17]
To really love [00:02:29]
To really love really love[00:02:35]
Do I [00:02:50]
I cycled by your house[00:02:52]
I saw you on the lawn[00:02:53]
I see you all the time[00:02:55]
Now that you are gone[00:02:56]
I tried to call your name[00:02:58]
But something made me stop[00:02:59]
I call you once a day[00:03:01]
Until you call the cops[00:03:02]
And told them it was me[00:03:04]
I filled a plastic bag[00:03:08]
With everything I wrote[00:03:09]
I threw it off a bridge[00:03:11]
And thought that it would float [00:03:12]
The water made it sink[00:03:13]
The bag was bleeding ink [00:03:15]
I wished that I could swim[00:03:17]
I wished that I could drink[00:03:18]
I wished that it was me [00:03:20]
It's bleaker than you think[00:03:23]
I'm running out of ink[00:03:26]
Give a guy a break[00:03:29]
This is what it takes[00:03:32]
To drive a man to drink[00:03:35]
I'm running out of ink[00:03:39]
Give a guy a break[00:03:42]
This is what it takes[00:03:44]
To drive a man to drink[00:03:48]
To drive a man to drink[00:03:51]
To drive a man to drink[00:03:54]
