At A Loss

Johnny L.


what do i have to do to

get my point across

i’m searching for a clue cause

i am at a loss


i’ve got these brand new shoes so

now i want to dance

i’ve used the good shampoos and

ironed my blue pants

i’ve made it clear

that i’m sincere

how i had some pride once

that seems to have disappeared


what do i have to do to

get my point across

i’m searching for a clue cause

i am at a loss


i’ve set off all the flares and

lit the signal fires

but i know no one cares

about these base desires

i’ve made it known

that seeds must be sown

so i’ve shown great interest

but still end up alone


what do i have to do to

get my point across

i’m searching for a clue cause

i am at a loss


nailed to a cross

why do i come across

as such an albatross?
