M&R BLUES

Whatever we have gotten wrong
It doesn’t matter when we’re gone
Nobody there to wave us in
No one to drag us down again

The mystery of every drink
That makes it easier to think
Oblivion is under way
And reservations are OK

I got no hope today hope today
I got no hope today hope today
I got no beat today beat today
I got no love today love today
I got no God today God today
I got no sin today sin today
I got no deal today deal today
I got no weave today weave today

Whatever else we might have been
Won’t matter to the next of kin
Piano bars in every room
A luxury we all assume

The allergies collecting dust
Economy’s that boom or bust
Oblivion is underway
And everybody has to pay

Wherever else we won’t belong
It doesn’t matter when we’re gone
The fashion and the history
It won’t be there to pester me

The TV sits there all alone
Just waitin’ for the news to phone
Oblivion is under way
I only wish that I could stay
