No Urge Lyrics

Is there anybody there who can take the chill out of the air

And the needles of the winter from my toes

Is there any way to keep the nightmares from my sleep

And my eyes from looking inside when it snows

Do the mountains freeze the thought of a dead forget me not

And a bitter recollection until spring

It gets quiet when I stand on the streets of snow and sand

And I cannot even bring myself to sing

The weather makes me wonder whether it's lightening or it's thunder

And if the weather is coincidence or fate

I give up on love to early and I'm feeling kind of squirrelly

And when I finally start to try it's much too late

With a sympathetic whisper, and a sigh, I softly kissed her

Touched her neck and bought a priceless wedding ring

Until I found my blood was freezing

My nose was dripping

I was sneezing

Words I couldn't even bring myself to sing

My teeth began to chatter but it really didn't matter

Because my voice had nothing lyrical to say

The words I sometimes scribble are so often lifeless drivel

And so often they're just getting in the way

So I walked the streets in silence thinking thoughts of fear and violence

Like a cryogenic zombie who was king

Until a greenish mist of death took his love and took his breath

And he couldn't even bring himself to sing

The sky; a ghoulish gray in the cold clear light of day

Like a prisoner at play inside his cell

A peaceful messenger and a thought that just won't stir

Like an auctioneer with nothing left to sell

Far above these gloomy clouds nothing matters nothing crowds

The thoughts that sunshine, truth and ignorance can bring

When the moisture turns to rock and it comes as quite a shock

That I cannot even bring myself to sing

The windows start to ice like an adolescent vice

That was warm at first but soon became a lie

Like your first pubescent kiss that you crave and finally miss

But eventually regret and then deny

It starts to snow inside the car

So I finally find a bar with an ice-cold beer

And barmaids that don't sting

Another gelid place to write whatever words come into sight

When I'm pensive and can't bring myself to sing

Is there anyone around who can break this frozen ground

Without a sound to tell the world the gates have crashed

Is there any way to find the littered pieces of my mind

And that graduation check I never cashed

Is there someone I can trust with this abstinence and lust

Without treating it as just another fling

I'm stuck inside this bar and I can't find my guitar

Writing words that I can't bring myself to sing
