lyrics

It Don't Make Sense JByrd

Pussyfoot, a cat in heat.
Dinner's cold luncheon meat.
A butcher's block on lonely street,
I'm so tired and I can't sleep.
It don't make sense to me.

Recorded live and played to death,
I'm crying where we used to laugh.
Now I find I've lost the past
among a hundred photographs.
It don't make sense to me.

I tried to tidy up the house today, but I couldn't find a place for all those dreams we had. Now you've gone and taken all your stuff. You’d think there'd be room enough.

There was a time I placed a bet
on even odds with no regrets.
The outcome's in and all I get's
a future that I can't forget.
It don't make sense to me.
