Writers & Poets Lyrics

I came to in a dark room

In a Lincoln Park basement on Broadway and 4

With a contract and a sore back

I picked up the pieces, my patience came back

Did you feel it too when the moon turned blue

Said I was a looker, but I was looking at you

If I ever find some direction

I swear you'll be first to know

And if you try, try, try

Just to catch glimpses of glory

They fade with the lights

Don't wait all night

I like the way we shine, we are alright

We are alright

Myself doubt, like a rain cloud

Should I cut my losses? Should I just cash out

Cause I can't strike gold, and this shit's getting old

They said I had promise, it's a process I'm told

It's a club I'm not in, where they sip top shelf gin

With writers and poets, and they buy out their sins

And pull all the strings, while the house band sings

And they bring in the money

And if you try, try, try

Just to catch glimpses of glory

They fade with the lights

Don't wait all night

I like the way we shine, we are alright

But if I ever find some direction

I swear you'll be first to know

You'll be first to know

And if you try, try, try

Just to catch glimpses of glory

They fade with the lights

Don't wait all night

I like the way we shine, we are alright

I like the way we shine, we are alright

I like the way we shine, we are alright
