My Swan Song Songtext
von Dave Frishberg

This is my swan song
It′s a weary and wan song
It's the final cry of a dry imagination
It′s the terminal croak of a broken concentration
It's the end of the line, my ultimate destination
My been here and gone song
My swan song
This is my last song
My flag at half-mast song
It's the work of a brain with a circuit of blown out fuses
While I′m trying in vain to invoke my used up muses
Now it′s all that remains of my dried up creative juices
My called forrest lawn song
My swan song
Once I popped them out like waffles


The good ones and the awfuls
A new one every day
But now I find I'm uninspired
My wig′s no longer wired
I've nothing left to say
But I′ll say it anyway
So this is my new song
My long overdue song
It's the last flip-flop of a wobbling top that′s spun down
It's the weak tweet-tweet of a parakeet at sundown
It's the last tick-tock of a clock that′s finally run down
My dreary and drawn song
It′s a weary and wan song
My been here and gone song
My swan song
