Rowboat...  lightning...
 I kissed her, yeah,  it didn't mean a thing
 Seems like years ago it was yesterday
Fire  drill...  yell freeze...
 Don't hang around  long face disease
 I got a book of poems that's gonna set you free
 Well it's bad  luck
 And it's a hard  luck story
 And I'm sorry  I ain't sticking around
 I got a real  bad feeling that a book  of poems ain't enough
 Well it's a sick  world
 And sixteen  days
 I got nightmares  every night
 I got a real  bad feeling that a book  of poems ain't enough
Hardcore..  uptown...
 Not the kind of place  you wanna settle down
 I only walked her home but that was bad enough
Two  trains...  yell freeze...
 It was a head-on cold  now it's a love disease
 I got a book of poems you gotta see to believe
 REPEAT CHORUS
 I got a real  bad feeling that a book  of poems ain't enough
)  x2
 REPEAT CHORUS
 I got a real  bad feeling that a book  of poems ain't enough
 I got a real  bad feeling that a book  of poems ain't-
 I got a real  bad feeling that a book  of poems ain't-
 I got a real  bad feeling that a book  of poems ain't enough-oh-oh-ohh
