Something for Nothing
Bolter/Bell/Matteson/McMillan/Teague
I think it was just a week ago Sunday
That you walked into my life
I was sitting all alone by Monday
Trying to recall the night
Told myself, Hey man, you got nothing
So you gonna find some way
Gonna have to make up something
So she won’t run away
I’ll say anything
I’ll promise everything
And hope that you will never see me
Getting somethin’ for nothin
Only thing good about sundown
Is all the clouds disappear
I’ve always been mostly a night owl
Some Transylvania fear
Don’t know any astrophysics
But Midi’s got no soul
More like an alchemist
Turning lead into gold
I’ll promise everything
I’ll tell you anything
And hope that you will never see me
Getting somethin’ for nothin
Once upon a midnight dreary
While I pondered so weak and weary
Looking for some way I could be free
Oh and I remember
It was a deep, dark and blue September
When that blackbird came for me
I poured over each dying ember
Trying to return to sender
But I never, ever wanted to see
But the shadow was so caustic
And it left me so exhausted
Then I saw the Raven was me
I’ll say anything
I’ll promise everything
And hope that you will never see me
Getting somethin’ for nothin
