Lyrics are Hard (Funny Lyrics LarryP)

**Verse 1** Once upon a midnight dreary, sat a songwriter, oh so weary, With a pen that just won't flow, like a river stuck in snow. Thoughts tangled in a brainy mess, inspiration's gone on recess, A cup of coffee's lost its might, "Why are the lyrics so hard to write?" **Chorus** "Why are the lyrics so hard to write?" Words playing hide and seek, outta sight. Where's the magic, where's the spark, Who turned off my creative arc? **Verse 2** Scribbles on a notepad, like doodles from a chatty lad, Rhyme schemes falling flat, like a pancake on a yoga mat. Even the cat's got ideas, more brilliant than these tired clichés, Staring at the ceiling tonight, "Why are the lyrics so hard to write?" **Chorus** "Why are the lyrics so hard to write?" Mind's a circus, nothing seems right. The muse packed bags, caught a flight, Left me here in a lyrical plight. **Bridge** Oh, the thesaurus is mocking me, with words as slippery as can be, I need a muse, a genius spree, or maybe just a cup of herbal tea. **Verse 3** Tried to channel Shakespeare, tried to summon Lennon here, But my pen's just taking a nap, like a phone with a dying app. The notebook's filled with doodled fights, "Why are the lyrics so hard to write?" **Chorus** "Why are the lyrics so hard to write?" Even the moon's hiding tonight. Maybe tomorrow the sun will ignite, A spark of genius, a lyrical light. **Outro** So I’ll dream of verses sweet and bright, Hoping they'll visit me tonight. In the end, it'll be all right, When the lyrics are just right.
